Who Benefits from Najem Okazjonalny: Tenant or Landlord

We explain what Najem Okazjonalny is in Poland, who benefits more — the tenant or the landlord — and how this type of contract affects the rights and obligations of both parties.

What is Najem Okazjonalny

Najem Okazjonalny is a rental agreement concluded with a notary, in which the tenant specifies in advance the address to which they will move in the event of contract termination. To confirm this address, a statement from the owner of that property (guarantee) is drawn up. This form of rental provides clear rules and legal protection for both parties.

Who Benefits from Najem Okazjonalny

From the perspective of legal protection and the ability to respond quickly in case of violations, the advantage is on the landlord's side. However, in terms of transparency and predictability of terms, both parties benefit.

Benefits for the Landlord

  • Reduced risk of late payments. Formalized termination and eviction procedure.
  • Legal certainty. Notarial confirmation and mandatory attachments.
  • Tenant verification. Indication of a move-out address and owner's statement.
  • Shorter vacancy period. Faster return to rental in case of violations.

Benefits for the Tenant

  • Transparent rules. Clearly defined conditions confirmed by a notary.
  • Long-term stability. Lower risk of sudden termination without reason.
  • Legal clarity. Fewer “grey area” practices and unpredictable situations.
  • Documentary protection. Easier to prove your case in a dispute.

The Role of the Owner’s Statement (Guarantee)

The guarantee confirms the existence of an address for potential relocation and is a mandatory attachment to the contract. The effectiveness of the agreement depends on its accuracy. We offer four options:

  1. Statement with a specified address.
  2. Statement with the address to be added later.
  3. Notarized statement with a specified address.
  4. Notarized document with the address to be added later.

When Najem Okazjonalny is Especially Beneficial

  • Renting a property for the first time or after negative experiences with debtors.
  • Long-term rental for a family or professionals on a contract.
  • Situations where a clear legal procedure and deadlines are important.

Possible Risks and How to Minimize Them

For the Landlord

  • Errors in documents — use verified templates and notaries.
  • Inaccuracies in the guarantee may delay the process — check the data in advance.

For the Tenant

  • Inability to sign the contract without a guarantee — prepare it online in advance.
  • Penalties for missing deadlines — read the contract carefully and keep correspondence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the guarantee be obtained remotely?

Yes, simply fill out an online form. We deliver documents via InPost and by email.

Which option to choose: with an address or to add the address later?

If the address is known — choose the option with the address. If it is still being agreed upon, choose the option to add it later.

Why notarize the guarantee?

A notarized guarantee increases the legal force of the document and speeds up contract signing with a notary.

Conclusion

Najem Okazjonalny is a format in which both parties benefit: the landlord gains quick legal protection, and the tenant enjoys stability and transparent terms. The key is to properly prepare the guarantee and strictly follow the contract conditions.
