What’s the Difference Between a Guarantee With an Address and Without in Najem Okazjonalny
We explain what a “with address” and “without address” guarantee means in Najem Okazjonalny in Poland, how each is prepared, their pros and cons, and which option to choose for your situation.
What is a Guarantee in Najem Okazjonalny
A guarantee is a mandatory attachment to a Najem Okazjonalny agreement in which the owner of another dwelling agrees to accept the tenant in the event the lease is terminated. This document confirms that the tenant has an address to move to and is an important element of the landlord’s legal protection.
Guarantee with an address vs. without: what’s the difference
When arranging a Najem Okazjonalny, the guarantee may include a specific address where the tenant would live if evicted, or it may omit the address (with the possibility to add it later). These two formats differ in legal implications and ease of use.
Comparison table
Criterion | Guarantee with address | Guarantee without address |
---|---|---|
Address specified | Yes, directly in the document | No, can be added later |
Speed of agreement preparation | Faster — address already indicated | May be delayed until the address is added |
Flexibility | Low — changing the address is difficult | High — you can enter the current address before notarization |
Legal force | Maximum | Maximum after the address is entered |
Risk of errors | Minimal | There is a risk of forgetting to add the address |
When to choose a guarantee with an address
- The address is known in advance and agreed with the property owner.
- No address change is planned in the near future.
- You need to conclude a Najem Okazjonalny agreement quickly.
When to choose a guarantee without an address
- The address is not yet agreed, or several options are being considered.
- The tenant is not yet sure where they will be registered.
- You want to keep flexibility while preparing the agreement.
Possible risks and how to avoid them
For the landlord
- Ensure the address is entered in the guarantee before signing the agreement with a notary.
- Keep a copy of the guarantee with the property owner’s signature.
For the tenant
- Agree in advance with the property owner on using their address.
- If the address is added later, make sure the guarantee form is still valid.
