• An indefinite contract without information about eviction, where okres wypowiedzenia must be registered (usually 1-2 months).

• A contract for a specific period, convenient for the property owner. If tenants do not pay for housing, the owner can easily terminate the contract. The main condition is the availability of alternative housing in Poland, where the tenant can move in if the contract with the owner is terminated.
