Abstract

By the Act of 20 July 2018 amending the Act on Waste and certain other acts, the legislator introduced a requirement to conclude lease agreements in the form of a notarial deed in case of an enumerated waste management activity, provided that the holder of waste or the entity aspiring to this status is not the owner, perpetual usufructuary or user of a given property where this business activity is or is to be conducted. The article analyses the features of a lease agreement as an obligatory relationship in waste management distinguished by the legislator. The result of these deliberations are conclusions as to advisability of such far-reaching interference of the legislator into civil law relations and the principle of freedom of contract.
