There are breakthrough changes in municipal housing regulations. The fresh regulations prepared by the Ministry of improvement are to end the long-term practice of inheriting rental contracts by persons who do not request assistance. The changes will besides include a mechanics for expanding rent and a multi-billion-dollar investment programme for municipal construction.


The law of succession is constantly evolving and can be missed. fewer people know that there have late been changes in the care system. Previously left out in the will, relatives in most cases had a practically guaranteed maintenance, part of the inheritance from the deceased. But now it's not so certain and they don't get it "from the machine".

Municipal housing can get people who don't request them. Exchange mechanism


"From the vending machine" can besides (still) inherit the municipal apartment. In accordance with Article 691 of the civilian Code, after the tenant's death, the lease is transferred to relatives (married, children, or... concubine). There is fundamentally only 1 condition that needs to be fulfilled: the heir and the deceased lived together in a given premises.

No income criterion is taken into account, and municipal housing is created for the poorest. Currently, no 1 even checks whether specified a individual owns another properties. The Infor.pl portal explains that this inheritance mechanics is treated as a form of protection for the closest family, but it is besides a field of abuse.

– You can gain 100 1000 PLN, parents had a municipal apartment, you will show that you lived with them before their death – you enter into the lease agreement "from the vending machine". I think it's just not fair. We do not want to throw these people out of the resource, but the self-government should have the right to verify whether this individual has e.g. a property in a given city," said Deputy Minister Tomasz Lewandowski at the legislature meeting.

No more inheriting an flat from a vending machine. Who's gonna take them after the dead?


The draft amendment of the rules provides for the exclusion of Article 691 KC in respect of municipal housing. What does this mean in practice? After the death of the main tenant, the municipality will decide on the further destiny of the premises. Those wishing to take over the lease will gotta meet 2 basic conditions:

No another property in the same town.

Revenue not exceeding the set threshold.


Mechanisms known from typical social programmes will so be implemented: aid will only be paid to those who truly request it. "We introduce a ban on inheriting contracts, which is – in short – you will not enter the lease agreement from the vending machine, regardless of the amount of income," Deputy Minister Lewandowski added.

Rents are to be dependent on income. fresh strategy in municipal housing


The changes planned by the Ministry of improvement will affect the way the rent is calculated in municipal premises. Today, people who cross a given income threshold can get specified a drastic rent increase that it will align with the prices for renting a regular apartment.

– In our proposal we introduce not specified automation, almost a buck for a buck, but a proportional increase, and not so much we introduce the dependence of any adjustment of rent on the income threshold defined by the local government, as we want to introduce certain limits, higher than those of local government, at national level. The point is that the government should not act unfairly – consciously or unconsciously – provided the Deputy Minister.

The fresh strategy will cover all contracts, including those concluded before 2019. In conclusion, the fresh mechanics will work like this:

The rent will grow in proportion to the income, not in leaps.

National increase limits will be introduced.


PLN 45 billion for fresh social and municipal housing


Infor.pl reports that changes in regulations are to go hand in hand with powerful housing investments. The government plans to allocate as much as PLN 45 billion by 2030 to the improvement of municipal and social buildings.

In addition, grants for municipalities from the National Reconstruction Plan are expected to increase from 15% to 25% of the investment value.

The mark is obvious. The aim is to increase the availability of housing for the poorest and middle-class people who cannot afford a marketplace rent or acquisition an apartment.

– It is money for building apartments, subletting apartments not only for the weakest, the poorest, but besides for, say, mediate class, i.e. honest workers, earners, but who are inactive besides mediocre for the marketplace both in this version of rent and acquisition – people who cannot afford it – said Tomasz Lewandowski.

Changes in this area are needed due to the fact that the municipal housing strategy has long struggled with limited availability, inefficient verification of tenants and unequal treatment. tiny rentals frequently stay in the hands of wealthy people, and those who truly request a roof over their head are waiting years for their assignment.
