Summary/Abstract: The difficult housing situation in Poland needed the state’s intervention after World War II. The housing matter became a social problem due to the large deficit of dwellings. The solution to that problem was an important factor in the solidification of the People’s Republic of Poland Government. New legal regulations from the years 1944–1956 remained closely linked to the socialist transformations in Poland and created a housing economy system which was completely controlled by the state. The presented matter fits into the wider issue of the instrumentalization of thr law of the People’s Republic of Poland and the publicization of the private law by the administrative-legal interference in its content. Also, it remains strongly connected with the issue of private ownership in the communist system.
