Law / Eviction process from an apartment in Poland [13]

Merged:

Landlords Rights

Hi,

I was hoping someone might have some experience with landlords rights and could hopefully offer some advice.

My wife (who is Polish) and I recently bought a house in Poland. My wife has another property (apartment) in Gdansk which she decided to rent out last year in June to cover the mortgage. Everything went well with the new tenant until February this year where the tenant lost her job and has since stopped paying the rent due. She is currently 4 months in arrears, additionally her tenancy contract ends in July this year.

My wife has unfortunately fell unwell and I am trying my best to sort out this difficult situation for her.

The questions that I hope someone may have some knowledge on are:

1. What rights does she have to evict the tenant?
2. The tenant did not sign a notary to say she can move to another property - how does this effect the eviction process?
3. Has anyone had to evict a tenant before due to rent arrears - if so how long did it take?

I understand that I am probably best off speaking to a lawyer which I plan on doing very soon, however I am currently stuck in the UK with the Covid situation and may not be able to get an appointment for a few weeks/months.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
