Rentin Warsaw

Renting in Warsaw increasingly utilizes the occasional tenancy agreement (najem okazjonalny), requiring a notarial submission to enforcement to protect both parties and streamline dispute resolution.

≈ +2.5% over the price. PCC is 2% on the price or market value (whichever higher), exempt on the primary market where the developer charged VAT. The notariusz drafts the akt notarialny — the only form that transfers real estate. Foreigners from the EEA buy freely; others need Ministry of Interior permit only for certain plots (the 2024 Polish diaspora rules eased most cases).

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits run one to three months, held often as “kaucja” in a deposit account.
  • Leases commonly run 12 months with a 3-month notice.
  • The najem okazjonalny (occasional lease) adds tenant-termination power for landlords — know which contract you sign.

Warsaw prices off finance and IT; Kraków off tourism and students; Tricity off the Baltic boom.

Under najem okazjonalny, the tenant provides a notarial declaration of submission to voluntary eviction (oświadczenie o poddaniu się egzekucji) and designates an alternate residence in Poland.

Security deposits (kaucja) range between 1 and 2 months rent, returnable within 30 days of lease termination. Utility charges (czynsz administracyjny and media) are settled based on submeter readings.
