The article analyses the problems faced by housing cooperatives and housing communities in
Poland, focusing on the lack of effective supervision, the inefficiency of the judicial path, and the
limitations connected with administration and bureaucracy. For years, cooperative members
have observed that the absence of real control over cooperatives’ activity leads to the depen
dence of the supervisory board on the management board, which hinders the transparency of
actions and effective control. External supervision, exercised by the Auditing Union of Hous
ing Cooperatives of the Republic of Poland, is also limited by its connections with cooperative
activists. There is a need to change the regulations, including the introduction of supervision
by independent institutions such as the Supreme Audit Office, and the improvement of court
and prosecutorial procedures. The article also presents proposed solutions, such as the creation
of energy cooperatives and investment in renewable energy sources, which may improve man
agement efficiency and reduce costs. In sum, the article points to the need for reforms in the
supervision and management of housing cooperatives and communities in order to improve
their functioning and ensure greater transparency.
