As reported by "Rzeczpospolita", senators from three committees (National Economy and Innovation; Infrastructure; and Local Government and State Administration) discussed the act passed by the Sejm in early October. According to the report, the meeting was devoted to hearing the opinions of legislative advisers, senators and industry representatives.
- Some senators criticised, among other things, the provisions on banning rentals in buildings owned by housing communities and cooperatives, including the requirement of support from at least 50% of members, as well as the lack of any obligation to give reasons and the absence of a right of appeal.
- Representatives of property owners warned of the consequences for small businesses and tourists.
- The Chamber of Commerce of Polish Hotels (Izba Gospodarcza Hotelarstwa Polskiego) pointed to unequal competitive conditions compared with hotels.
The amendments are expected to be considered, most likely, at the next Senate sitting in early November.
