Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court ruled in favor of the housing association, ordering the defendant company to pay 7,794.39 zł in rent plus statutory interest and 2,117 zł in legal costs. The plaintiff argued that a valid lease contract existed and the defendant failed to pay rent for a specific period, while the defendant contested the debt but offered no substantive evidence. The court rejected the defendant's reliance on missing invoices, noting that the lease contract itself established the obligation to pay regardless of invoicing, and the defendant's silence on prior payments confirmed the debt. Consequently, the court found the plaintiff's claim fully justified and awarded the requested amounts.
