Czynsz jako źródło finansowania gospodarki mieszkaniowej

Abstract

The object of the article are the questions: 1) what is the role of rent in financing housing economy in Poland and 2) which are the arguments pro and contra applying economically justified rents in Poland. In Poland there is a two-level system of rents. In state-owned and privately owned houses rents are low. Much higher rents are paid by members of co-operative building societies. This results in economic differentiation of the population depending on whether they live in state-owned or privately owned houses on the one hand and in co-operative houses on the other. In consequence of the low rents in state-owned and privately owned houses it is necessary to cover part of the cost of housing management from the state funds. The authoress considers the advisability and possibility of applying the present rents to the requirements of financing upkeep costs, repairs and housing investments.
