The new rules came into force on 1 July 2024 and left the rules of the tenancy itself untouched. Three things matter for the lease: up-to-date details of the parties, documents and the lease term. Does a contract from 2022 expire in July 2024? Then decide before that date about the next year of the tenancy and get the paperwork ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 ez-toc-wrap-center counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Spis tre\u015bci<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/tenanto.pl\/en\/ukrainian-tenant-lease-changes-july-2024\/#What_changes_from_1_July_2024_for_the_legal_stay_of_a_Ukrainian_citizen\" >What changes from 1 July 2024 for the legal stay of a Ukrainian citizen?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/tenanto.pl\/en\/ukrainian-tenant-lease-changes-july-2024\/#The_Ukrainian_special_act_and_renting_what_the_amendment_does_not_change\" >The Ukrainian special act and renting: what the amendment does not change<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/tenanto.pl\/en\/ukrainian-tenant-lease-changes-july-2024\/#Lease_with_a_Ukrainian_citizen_which_details_and_documents_to_verify_before_extending\" >Lease with a Ukrainian citizen: which details and documents to verify before extending<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/tenanto.pl\/en\/ukrainian-tenant-lease-changes-july-2024\/#Annex_or_new_lease_How_to_extend_the_tenancy_when_your_tenant_is_from_Ukraine\" >Annex or new lease?

There are two conditions: legal entry into Poland and a declared intention to remain in the country. Most of the changes apply from 1 July 2024. But not all of them - the text of the amendment in the Journal of Laws sets other dates for some provisions, for example 25 June or 1 September 2024. So for the details I recommend going to the act itself rather than to press summaries (these tend to simplify).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amendment also touches family benefits and ties them to children&#8217;s schooling. It has no effect on the content of the lease. None.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ukrainian_special_act_and_renting_what_the_amendment_does_not_change\"><\/span>The Ukrainian special act and renting: what the amendment does not change<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The special act regulates the stay, not the tenancy. The rights and obligations of the parties still come from the lease and from the general rules on renting. Rent, the deposit, the notice rules and the rules for using the flat stay as you agreed them two years ago. And none of the new provisions requires you to renegotiate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How should you assess the tenant? The same way as any other: payments on time, the condition of the flat, how things have gone so far. Citizenship is not on that list. If the family pays on time and looks after the flat, these are really the only arguments that should decide whether you keep renting to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The act also does not tie the length of the lease to the date of legal stay. The lease term is up to the parties. And when a specific situation raises doubts, ask a lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lease_with_a_Ukrainian_citizen_which_details_and_documents_to_verify_before_extending\"><\/span>Lease with a Ukrainian citizen: which details and documents to verify before extending<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you sign an annex, check whether the tenant&#8217;s details entered in the lease in 2022 are still current. Two years is a long time and more than one thing may have changed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>identity document<\/strong> - it may have been replaced, so the series and number in the lease may no longer be valid,<\/li>\n<li><strong>people living in the flat<\/strong> - someone may have joined the family or moved out,<\/li>\n<li><strong>contact details<\/strong> - phone number and e-mail address for correspondence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full range of information about a foreign national that should appear in the document is covered in a separate post on <a href=\"https:\/\/tenanto.pl\/en\/renting-apartment-to-foreigner-contract-documents-registration\/\">renting a flat to a foreigner<\/a>. It is a different story when the party to the contract is not the family but an employer. Then different rules of representation and liability apply, and before extending you need to verify who can sign the annex on behalf of the company - that is the subject of the article on what is different about <a href=\"https:\/\/tenanto.pl\/en\/renting-apartment-to-company-for-employees\/\">renting a flat to a company<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Was the lease drawn up in two languages? Both versions of the annex must say the same thing. It is also a good idea to state outright which one is binding if they differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Annex_or_new_lease_How_to_extend_the_tenancy_when_your_tenant_is_from_Ukraine\"><\/span>Annex or new lease? How to extend the tenancy when your tenant is from Ukraine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The terms are not changing? A written annex with a new end date is enough. A new lease only makes sense with bigger changes, such as a different group of occupants or reworked settlement rules. An annex is shorter and keeps continuity with the handover report and the deposit from 2022. In this respect, extending a lease with a Ukrainian tenant does not require any special form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make one choice deliberately: whether the next year is to be another fixed term, or whether the tenancy becomes open-ended. The consequences of the two options differ a lot, especially when it comes to notice, as explained in the article on what a <a href=\"https:\/\/tenanto.pl\/en\/fixed-term-vs-indefinite-lease-agreement\/\">fixed-term lease agreement<\/a> is and what the alternative looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The worst thing is to leave the matter without a document. The tenant then keeps living there past the end date, and neither party is sure on what terms. So before the lease ends, talk to the family about their plans for the coming months - without demanding declarations that you do not require from other tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checklist_before_signing_the_annex_in_July_2024\"><\/span>Checklist before signing the annex in July 2024<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An annex to a lease with a foreign national is prepared in the same steps as any other. In order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check the exact end date of the current lease.<\/li>\n<li>Verify the tenant&#8217;s details and their current identity document.<\/li>\n<li>Update the list of people living in the flat.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the new end date.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm the amount of rent and charges, or record the change.<\/li>\n<li>Decide what happens to the deposit paid at the start of the tenancy.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure it is in writing and signed by all parties to the lease.<\/li>\n<li>Give each party its own copy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, and an extension is also a good opportunity to look over the flat and add to the handover report any changes that have occurred since the family moved in. In Tenanto, a reminder about a lease that is about to end helps you not miss the date, and the signed annex can be stored with the property together with the lease and the handover report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Borderline cases, for example an unusual residence title held by the tenant or a dispute over the terms of the continued tenancy? Here it is better to go to a lawyer than to settle it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, a tenant from Ukraine extends the lease on the same terms as any other tenant. The amendment only removes the doubt about whether their stay is legal. The rest depends on what you agree and write down in the annex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1790879483980-0\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I extend a lease with a Ukrainian citizen for another year?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.
