Ukrainians received information about renting housing in Poland.

According to the UaInKrakow portal, after the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Poland accepted many refugees. One of the main issues was housing provision, as renting has its peculiarities that need to be known to avoid problems.

Statistically, citizens of Ukraine make up one of the largest groups of foreign tenants in Poland. The legislation in the country guarantees equal rights for all tenants, regardless of their citizenship.

According to Polish law, tenants have the following rights:

• Free use of housing.
• Sufficient living conditions.
• Repairs and maintenance.
• Stability of contract conditions.
• Confidentiality.
• Return of the deposit after the contract ends.
• Protection against discrimination.

Additionally, it is recommended to formalize a written rental agreement that specifies all the rental conditions, payment amount, rights, and obligations of the parties.

Moreover, tenants have the opportunity to contact consumer protection organizations, local authorities, or the court if their rights are violated by the landlord.

There are also cases of additional protection against eviction without providing alternative housing for certain categories of tenants, such as pregnant women, minors, persons with disabilities, and pensioners.

It is important to be legally literate and carefully study the terms of the rental agreement before signing, and to consult lawyers or organizations that protect tenant rights when questions or problems arise.

It is also recommended to document the condition of the apartment at the Time of moving in and take photos or videos to have evidence in case of disputes with the landlord.
