UK, Ireland / Is UK the new cradle of antipolonism? [161]

Is the only reason you are in America and not Poland money, grubas? If not, why not? What else is there?

Not the only reason but partly,yes.In a sense that I am not being RAPED with taxes which are going to be wasted anyway.Also I like the feeling of how big this country is and you can jump in the car to go completly different place with a different climate and many subtle differences yet people still speak the lingo I can understand and I am in the system.You feel me?

I can guarantee that he will never meet a second-generation Polish child/adult with a "Polish" accent,

And what is wrong with "Polish" if it's clearly understandable?Last night I was watching House Hunters International and there was English dude with American wife and Italian relator women.American and Italian accents were fine,I was actually surprised about this Italien chick accent and the Brit sounded like a person with impeded speach.This kind of thinking,judging a person by an accent is xenophobic as **** and very close minded.

Hudson is not lying at all above.

but it sends out a strong message that the only reason they are in the UK is for money.

And what's wrong with that?Sounds like a decent reason to me.

Take into account that imported stuff is significantly more expensive than Made in Poland.Will you agree?Also,why should they drink something else when they like Zubr?All Americans I know drink cheap American beer and you know what Coors Light taste like.So I don't really see what's your point?Personally I am glad they spend money on Polish made beer whatever their's motivation is.

Some Poles travel well but the great majority are lost without the comfort of authentic Polish surroudings

Don't you think you can say the same about any and every other nation?

For me, that's just a fact and not an opinion

It's not a fact,it's ONLY YOUR OPINION.

Their linguistic skills often come up short, they fall into depression without Tyskie and they do their utmost to replicate life as it was for them in Poland, just with more money.

Now you are stereotyping,you know that?I think you should leave Poland and go back where you came from xenophobic pig.

Hudson is not lying at all above.

Hudson is talking s h i t about 38 milions of individuals.

I'm not sure why you are calling me scum ....

Don't worry about it, that's only because you are dumb too.I will explain then.I am calling you a scum because you are xenophobic and extremly nationalistic scum.

Makes sense?You also do harm to all decent Brits because as much as I and people like me try not be prejudiced against Brits,scum like you make it very hard and I caught myself prejudicing and discriminating against your fellow countrymen.

They hardly socialise, they hate our food, they shop at polish shops. they send their kids to "polish kindergarten"

Do you expect decent people to socialize with scum like you?Get a life.

Real Estate / Apartment in Poland is not up to standard; right to terminate the rental agreement? [78]

When I did that I said that I wanted to look at another apartment, and the realtor said that I have my contract for one year and that I couldn't resign now because I will have to pay for the whole year.

I just checked and at first glance it seems that your relator is right.

The issue of termination of the lease otherwise represented in the case of contracts for a specified period. Such agreement it is intended to connect side by the designated time. Persistence means stability, certainty as to the rights, and burdensome requirements. Permanent feature of the commitments is that they allow you to work in confidence that the resulting rights and obligations will not expire prematurely.

Provisions of the Code of renting are mandatory, so Art. 673 of the Civil Code provides a basis to bring in the way of argument a contrario argument on the inadmissibility of speaking leases for a fixed period. However, the legislature when amending Art. 673 of the Civil Code, ruled on the admissibility of the end of a lease before the end of the period for which the contract was concluded.

Art. 693 § 3 of the Civil Code provides that if the duration of the lease is indicated, both the landlord and the tenant may terminate the lease in the cases specified in the contract. As a result, that provision should be made for acceptable clauses reserving the possibility of early termination with notice of lease agreements concluded for a definite period, to the extent, however, limited to the cases specified in the contract. According to the principle of freedom of contract the parties are free to determine the cause of termination of the contract so that they secured their interests, but the reason must be specified. The adopted solution allows for termination of the contract concluded for a fixed period only if it is consistent with the will of the parties as expressed in the contract and the parties shall specify in the contract justifying termination events. It should be stipulated that the parties can not post in the lease agreement concluded for a definite period of time generally worded possibility of early termination by notice. The possibility of early termination of the lease agreement exists only in very specific circumstances in the contract.

Real Estate / Apartment in Poland is not up to standard; right to terminate the rental agreement? [78]

Mind you. it would be illegal in a lot of jurisdictions - not sure about PL, but certainly in UK. :-(

What do you mean?Prawo wekslowe in Poland says that if I go to court to obtain nakaz zapłaty weksla the court will not investigate legality of my claim but only validity of weksel.That means that even if I enter some ridiculous amount of money on this weksel like 10000000000000000000 PLN the court will tell them to pay it.Of course then they can sue me in another lawsuit about the legality of my claim.

It wouldn't be worth his while to sue.

That's the bottom line and this is why I advised him to break the lease and then sue for a security deposit (if he paid one) which the landlord will witheld.He can also give a 30 days notice but it won't make his flat any warmer.Actually some people owe me rent money but the amount is not worth court troubles.I have something much better.I had them sign weksel IN BLANCO!I really wish them to become rich soon!!!

No,it only leads me to conclusion that the landlord is also a foreigner.And it's not complicated at all.Of course as a landlord I would have him sign lease agreement in Polish and if he insisted a copy in English,but even with the copy in English only I would simply get it translated by a sworn translator and head for court.No big deal.

Somehow, I suspect the Tax Office don't know about that particular bit of rental income...

It won't matter in a court room.

And left a long, long time ago.

Really?

And we've all rented flats

Oh I see.You are right,that makes you experts, funny guy.Seriously though, as for law in Poland,how many times if any have you read Kodeks Cywilny,Kodeks Handlowy.Prawo giełdowe i papierów wartościowych because I had them memorized at some point of my life.How about you?

Wedle, myself, Hythorn and Rozumiemnic

You are funny guy,you know that?None of you is even Polish,nothing wrong with that but don't claim to know Poland better than someone who was born and lived in Poland 30 years funny guy.

Real Estate / CZYNSZ - payment issue - help [43]

It only confirms what I said though to be precise I will only add that as much as oral contract is valid in Polish law SOME types of contract require a written form for evidence purposes meaning that any other proof or witnesses confessions will be dismissed in a court.It is all in Kodeks Cywilny if anybody is interested.

yet more advice from someone who left Poland as a kid and does not have a damned clue about the realities of living here

I am more familiar with realities of living in Poland than you will ever be.

great advice, get lawyered up and wait a year for the case to come up in court facing legal costs far in excess of the value of the deposit

Lawyered up,seriously?All he needs is Kodeks Cywilny and guess what genius,he can sue the landlord for court fees too!

There's no such thing in Polish law and

And you are some kind of expert on Polish law?Go to library and ask for Kodeks Cywilny,it clearly states that an oral contract is a valid contract!now,if OP feels that he can prove his claims in front of the judge he should go to court,however the burden of proving is on him and this is when a written contract comes handy.

Real Estate / CZYNSZ - payment issue - help [43]

you are the guilty party by law(Polish)

What do you mean partly?Ignorance is not an excuse.He should have asked for a WRITTEN confirmation and he did not.I highly doubt he is saying the truth because as hard as I am trying to, I can not imagine a landlord or building administration giving up czynsz because he lives there only a week or whatever a year.Must have been misunderstanding and this is why one should always ask for written agreement.

Are you in Poland?

I am not but my mother is and she left Spółdzielnia not long time ago.As far as I know majority of owners has to agree.Funny thing is that one of my mother's naighbours is a prezes of mentioned Spółdzielnia and she didn't want to leave but she had to because majority of owners wanted to.

You are very wrong here.Flats owners can leave Spółdzielnia and start Wspólnota Mieszkaniowa then there is no czynsz.

But cannot understand that I need to pay for bins (I am not using), cleaning of the stairs in the hallway and corridor (I am not using), for no renovation carried out!

You are 7 y/o or what?Czynsz is just like condo fees,you pay it regardless.

Love / Does your Polish partner suffer from disposophobia [46]

I've also discussed this with a lot of Poles (I mean Polish people who live in Poland) and they all recognized the tendency not to throw away stuff as a national trait, especially among older people.

If the Poles you discussed it with lived few years outside of Poland they would know that it's a worlwide common trait among older people.See,the only difference between Poles in Poland and Poles abroad is that the latter have seen more and therefore have better judgement.
