NSA revokes Gdansk court decision on apartment maintenance fees

In doing so, the NSA reversed the decision of the Gdansk branch of the court, which had previously cleared the owners of Gdynia buildings to impose higher fees. The Polish Real Estate Owners Union had hoped the Gdynia decision would set a precedent for the rest of the nation. Fees in state-owned buildings are set by the gminas, currently at zl. 1-2 per square meter, while fees for private tenants must not exceed a certain sum, for example, zl. 6 per square meter in Warsaw. The Sejm wants to ensure that tenants in private buildings will pay the stabilized fee until 2004. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pages 1, 2)
