Sejm passes amendment on regulation for short-term leases

The Sejm passed a bill regulating short-term rentals by a vote of 407 to 24, with nine abstentions. The Senate will consider it next.

The bill would let homeowners’ associations and housing cooperatives ban short-term rentals in specific buildings. Municipalities could also create temporary no-rental zones. Residents and housing groups could request inspections, and properties with repeated safety or public-order violations could be removed from the register.

The legislation also creates a central accommodation registry, requires short-term rental listings to have identification numbers, and allows administrative fines of up to PLN 50,000 for violations. Most provisions would take effect 14 days after publication. The authority to impose bans at the building or municipal level is scheduled to begin on January 1, 2028.
