<h2>What is Najem Okazjonalny</h2><p>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.</p><h2>Who Benefits from Najem Okazjonalny</h2><p>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.</p><h2>Comparative Table of Benefits</h2><figure class="table"><table><thead><tr><th>Criterion</th><th>Landlord</th><th>Tenant</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Quick termination and eviction in case of violations</td><td>Yes, simplified procedure</td><td>No, but terms are transparent</td></tr><tr><td>Transparency of terms</td><td>Yes</td><td>Yes</td></tr><tr><td>Legal protection</td><td>High</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>Payment guarantee</td><td>Higher than in standard rental</td><td>No direct benefit</td></tr><tr><td>Housing stability</td><td>Medium</td><td>Above average</td></tr><tr><td>Financial risk</td><td>Lower</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>Flexibility of terms</td><td>Limited by law</td><td>Limited by law</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><h2>Benefits for the Landlord</h2><ul><li><strong>Reduced risk of late payments.</strong> Formalized termination and eviction procedure.</li><li><strong>Legal certainty.</strong> Notarial confirmation and mandatory attachments.</li><li><strong>Tenant verification.</strong> Indication of a move-out address and owner's statement.</li><li><strong>Shorter vacancy period.</strong> Faster return to rental in case of violations.</li></ul><h2>Benefits for the Tenant</h2><ul><li><strong>Transparent rules.</strong> Clearly defined conditions confirmed by a notary.</li><li><strong>Long-term stability.</strong> Lower risk of sudden termination without reason.</li><li><strong>Legal clarity.</strong> Fewer “grey area” practices and unpredictable situations.</li><li><strong>Documentary protection.</strong> Easier to prove your case in a dispute.</li></ul><h2>The Role of the Owner’s Statement (Guarantee)</h2><p>The guarantee confirms the existence of an address for potential relocation and is a mandatory attachment to the contract.
