Abstract

According to the Polish Bankruptcy and Reorganization Act, even if the bankrupt has collected the rent for lease in advance for at least three months, and the tenancy rent in advance for at least six months, in both cases counting from the day bankruptcy is declared, and the rent has been disposed of, the lessee or the tenant shall not be released from the obligation to pay the rent to the bankruptcy estate. The article attempts to define the legal status of the tenant or lessee, in particular as regards their claims against the bankrupt, and how to assert those claims under bankruptcy proceedings.
