Why Najem Okazjonalny is becoming popular in big cities

In recent years, Najem Okazjonalny has strengthened its position across major Polish rental markets — Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, the Tricity, Poznań, Łódź. The notarial form with a mandatory guarantor fits both parties’ needs: it gives the landlord a faster legal response to breaches and provides the tenant with predictability and clean paperwork.

Main drivers of popularity

• Legal certainty and speed. A notarially prepared bundle reduces uncertainty and accelerates action when terms are breached.
• High competition for homes. Capitals and university hubs need standards and transparency — Najem Okazjonalny delivers that.
• Market professionalization. More owners treat letting as a managed asset and choose a lower-risk format.
• Foreigners and relocations. Companies and professionals prefer “legally clean” terms that support legalization and registration.
• Process digitalization. Online applications, remote document prep and couriered originals shorten deal time and lower the entry barrier.

How a big city shapes the choice

What landlords value in metros

• Quick return to market. Less vacancy between tenants — crucial in pricey locations.
• Professional image. Clear rules attract reliable tenants: specialists, families, senior students.

Why tenants accept Najem Okazjonalny

• Transparent rules. All key terms are written and notarially confirmed.

The guarantor’s role in megacities

The guarantor statement is the trust anchor in Najem Okazjonalny. Four practical variants are common in big cities:

1. Guarantor with stated address — maximum certainty for notary and landlord.
2. Guarantor with address added later — speeds the start if the address is being finalized.
3. Notarial guarantor with address — stronger evidential value.
4. Notarial guarantor with address later — a hybrid for urgent deals.
