Abstract
The article discusses the provisions which regulate the obligation to pay the rent into the bankruptcy estate in case of bankruptcy of the landlord or the lessor, both in case of prepayment of the rent and its disposal prior to the declaration of bankruptcy. The article analyses the justification of the provisions showing that, depending on that justification, their interpretation may differ, in particular with regard to the period covered by the obligation to pay the rent into the bankruptcy estate and the consequences of this obligation.
