OCCASIONAL RENTAL – WHAT IT MEANS AND WHY IT MATTERS

Most people looking for apartments in Krakow encounter the term “occasional rental” but few understand what it exactly means and why they should care. At Eternel, we specialize in preparing occasional rental agreements that protect both parties.

📋 What is occasional rental? It’s a special type of rental agreement regulated by Polish law. Main difference? Landlord can reclaim apartment even if tenant pays regularly and doesn’t violate contract – just needs to give proper notice.

🔐 For landlords – maximum security Occasional rental is the best form of protection for landlords. If tenant doesn’t pay, eviction process takes weeks instead of months or years like with standard contract. You don’t need court judgment – enforcement title is enough. At Eternel, we prepare complete documentation including notarial protocol.

👤 For tenants – what you need to know Yes, occasional rental gives landlord more rights. But in practice with reliable tenant it doesn’t matter – you pay, take care of apartment, contract gets extended. You receive same protection as with standard contract. At Eternel, we ensure contracts are clear and fair for both sides.

⚖️ When occasional rental is not possible? Not every apartment can be rented occasionally. Landlord must have legal title to replacement accommodation for tenant. Without this, occasional rental is invalid. We verify all formal conditions before preparing documents.

📝 How does the process look? Contract + handover protocol + tenant’s declaration before notary. Notary cost is usually 200-300 PLN. At Eternel, we guide clients through entire process and ensure everything is legal.

💡 Key benefit for tenants Landlords prefer occasional rental, which means more available apartments and often better price conditions. It’s win-win – landlord feels secure, tenant has wider choice.

In our agency, every contract is prepared individually considering apartment specifics and both parties’ needs. We don’t use templates – we treat each case personally.
