Real story: how a guarantor statement saved a tenant

Theory is useful, but nothing shows the value of Najem Okazjonalny as clearly as real stories. Here’s a client case where a guarantor statement helped protect rights and keep the apartment in a difficult situation.

How it started

Oleksii, a young professional from Ukraine, rented a flat in Warsaw under a Najem Okazjonalny lease. The landlord insisted on a guarantor statement with a specific address. Oleksii prepared the document with a notary and signed a two-year lease.

The problem

Six months later the relationship soured. The landlord urgently needed the flat for relatives and demanded that Oleksii move out within a month. Despite a valid contract, the landlord applied pressure, threatening to change the locks and keep the deposit.

The role of the guarantor statement

The Najem Okazjonalny contract and the guarantor statement became a shield for the tenant. The landlord could not simply evict Oleksii because:

• a valid contract was registered by the notary,
• the guarantor statement confirmed an alternative move-out address, blocking unlawful actions,
• any eviction had to go through the court, not at the owner’s whim.

What happened next

The landlord realized that without a court decision he couldn’t evict the tenant. After speaking with a lawyer he agreed to negotiate. They reached a compromise: Oleksii would move out in three months, and the landlord returned the full deposit and partly covered moving costs.

Lessons learned

• A guarantor statement protects the tenant. Without it, Oleksii could have ended up homeless and uncompensated.
• A notarized contract has teeth. The landlord must honor its terms.
• Dialogue beats conflict. Even tense cases can be resolved by agreement.

Tips for tenants

• Always arrange a guarantor statement — it’s your safety key.
• Keep copies of the lease and all documents.
• Don’t yield to pressure; request formal written notices.
• Consult a lawyer if needed.

Tips for landlords

• Follow the contract to avoid court disputes.
• Negotiate instead of threatening — it’s better for everyone.
• Use Najem Okazjonalny as protection while respecting tenant rights.

Conclusion

This story shows that a Najem Okazjonalny guarantor statement really works. It ensured the tenant wasn’t left without housing and received compensation. For tenants, it’s proof of the value of proper legal paperwork; for landlords, a reminder that contracts must be respected.
