Z problematyki najmu lokali mieszkalnych w Polsce Ludowej.

The article constitutes a normative overview of housing rental practices in the Polish People’s Republic, including solutions implemented at the dawn of the Polish Third Republic, due to their strong ties to the previous regulations. The aim of the article is to attempt a comprehensive study of the legislative status with regard to housing rental practices in the Polish People’s Republic, focusing on the character of the implemented regulation as well as its evolution. The author has analysed instances of state (administrative) control over the distribution and use of residential premises, from the decree of 1944 on housing committees, through housing rental practices in the light of public housing management (taking into consideration the Housing Law of 1959), to the special lease scheme based on the Housing Law of 1974. The latter legislative act has ultimately become the sign of qualitative changes consisting in the abandonment of the administrative legal regulation and return to the civil legal model, which was implemented only after the foundation of the Polish Third Republic.
