The Housing Act. Government plans another rental for seniors
Currently, municipalities can rent municipal housing to aged people, but only to those who do not own their own properties. This makes many seniors "imprisoned" in their 4 walls due to architectural restrictions specified as steep stairs or no elevators. Under current regulations, they are incapable to convert their accommodation into a more adapted flat to their age and health. The elder rent proposed in the bill is expected to change that. According to the fresh assumptions, older people with their own property will be able to enter into a rental agreement for the municipality's flat and will be obliged to rent to the municipality of their place. This way the elder will replace his flat with a place that will not limit his independence.
Senior rental 2025. Older people will exchange apartments with the municipality
The project's justification indicates that many aged people have a problem moving just due to architectural barriers. This has serious consequences.
This situation frequently leads to 'imprisoning' older people who could lead independent lives. The deficiency of the anticipation of leaving the place of residence is linked to expanding isolation, reduced activity and consequently faster occurrence of disability and the request for external support
- highlighted in the task description. It has besides been added that the problem will become more serious due to demographic change. By 2050, the number of seniors aged 60 or over is expected to account for 40% of the Polish population.

According to the rules, the municipalities will offer housing units which are part of the municipality's residential resource, available to the elderly. Those curious in this exchange request not meet any income criterion.
The rental of specified apartments to elder citizens is not due to their hard material situation, but due to restrictions in regular life caused by hard access to housing
- explained. Importantly, the flat utilized by the municipality is inactive owned by a elder and there may be a replacement at any time. After the death of an aged person, the property remains in decline. The government plans to deal with the task in the second 4th of 2025.
