The jurisprudence of many countries analyzes the problem of recognizing whether it is permissible for housing communities to adopt resolutions prohibiting the short-term rental of premises. It is generally accepted that the adoption of such resolutions is unacceptable. This view is also presented in the uniform line of jurisprudence of Polish courts presented in the article. In recent years, however, we can observe the emergence of jurisprudence recognizing that housing communities may pass resolutions prohibiting the use of premises located in the building for short-term rental. Such jurisprudence has developed in France and Portugal. These judgments and arguments presented in the justifications of the decisions are presented in the article. Their analysis proves that the process of searching for arguments supporting the admissibility of interference by housing communities in the ownership rights of individual owners of premises by prohibiting any use of the property in the name of protection of other values is underway. This process takes place with the use of various arguments, focusing, however, on the same dilemmas. These dilemmas concern two main issues. First, attempts to prioritize: protection of property rights, the right to inviolability of a home and the right to freedom of economic activity, where in particular the problem of whether short-term rental is an economic activity is considered. Secondly, to prioritize the protection of the property of the individual and the protection of the non-property interests of the collective.

The research presented in the article was inspired by recent demands to amend the Act on the ownership of premises in the context of equipping housing communities with the right to adopt resolutions on the prohibition of short-term rental of premises. These demands were argued, among others the lack of clear regulation on admissibility of adopting such resolutions as well as lack of appropriate measures to protect the rights of premises owners against infringements generated by the phenomenon of short term rental of premises. The aim of the article was therefore to respond to the validity of the arguments raised. In the first part of the article, the subject of analysis was the issue of the admissibility of adopting resolutions by housing communities prohibiting the short-term rental of premises and resolutions on increasing the burden on owners of premises rented for a short time, under the applicable regulations.. In the second part of the article, the research cover the issues of measures to protect the rights of owners of premises in a situation where neighboring premises in a building are rented for a short-term, pursuant to applicable regulations. Measures to protect the right of owners of premises, regulated in the Civil Code as well as in the Act on the ownership of premises, were discussed. They were also assessed in the context of the possibility of their use in the event of infringements generated by short-term rental of premises.
