Why Landlords Choose Najem Okazjonalny

What is Najem Okazjonalny and why mandatory conditions are required

Najem Okazjonalny is a special type of rental agreement in Poland, concluded before a notary, which provides a simplified eviction procedure for the tenant after the contract ends. For the agreement to have legal force, it must meet a number of mandatory conditions set by law.

Main mandatory conditions of Najem Okazjonalny

1. Written form of the agreement — the Najem Okazjonalny contract must be in writing and include all required details.
2. Tenant’s notarial declaration (Oświadczenie Najemcy) — confirmation of consent to voluntarily vacate the property upon termination or expiration of the agreement.
3. Indication of an alternative relocation address — the address where the tenant agrees to move in case of eviction.
4. Consent of the owner of the alternative property — a written statement from the owner of the indicated address confirming readiness to accept the tenant.
5. Document confirming ownership of the alternative property — an excerpt from the land and mortgage register (księga wieczysta) or a notarial deed.

Additional conditions

• The tenant must be a natural person renting the property for residential purposes.
• The contract must be for a fixed term (no more than 10 years for individuals).
• All documents must be in Polish or accompanied by a sworn translation.

Consequences of non-compliance

If even one of the mandatory conditions is not met, the contract loses its Najem Okazjonalny status and is treated as a standard rental agreement. This means the landlord cannot use the simplified eviction procedure.

Conclusion

Najem Okazjonalny offers increased protection for the landlord, but only if all requirements are met. Before signing, it is important to carefully review the documents, obtain all necessary consents, and complete the process with a notary.
