Abstract

The lease of agricultural land is a widespread legal title to organize and run farms in Poland. Since the State Land Fund was established, it has been possible to distinguish so-called "private" and "state" lease of agricultural land. The latter is currently associated with the land from the Agricultural Property Stock of the State Treasury.The aim of the article is to indicate the current legal problems related to the lease of state-owned land and make an attempt to address them. Due to a broad scope of the subject, the paper focuses only on selected issues. First, it discusses agricultural property lease agreements. The 2019 and 2020 amendments to the Act on the Management of Agricultural Properties of the State Treasury introduced new solutions for raising objections before and during the tender procedure.Then, the paper analyses the transfer of the lessee's rights and obligations to a third party. Next, the considerations focus on excluding agricultural land from lease and its acquisition under the Act of 2011. The article also deals with the issue of unlawful possession of the land from the Agricultural Market Agency after the end of the lease.
