The occasional lease and the winter protection period: is eviction possible?

For standard leases, Polish law introduces a protection period that restricts evictions during certain months of the year — so a landlord may be unable to recover the flat in winter even from a tenant who has stopped paying. With an occasional lease the situation is different.

Conditions without which the special regime does not apply:

  • the complete set of mandatory annexes to the lease
  • the tenant's declaration drawn up before a notary
  • designation of the fallback property and its owner's consent
  • notification to the tax office within 14 days of the lease starting

The occasional lease gives a landlord markedly more protection, but only when every formality is completed correctly and on time. One missed filing turns it back into an ordinary lease.

Still have questions?

We'll prepare the documents needed to conclude the occasional lease agreement.
