PRS, or the institutional rental market, is one of the fastest growing real estate segments in Poland. It is characterized by investment in rental apartments by professional entities – funds, special purpose vehicles, private and institutional investors. Unlike the traditional housing market, the PRS sector is based on uniform standards of tenant service, professional portfolio management, and a long-term approach to investment.

Polish legal and tax regulations are still adapting to the specific nature of this market, which is why the support of a law firm with experience in this field is extremely important for the success of a project. Attention should be paid not only to the content of agreements with tenants and developers, but also to the ownership structure, compliance with local housing regulations and appropriate safeguards for the investor’s interests.
