Abstract:The present article is an attempt to outline briefly the “defensive strategies” of the citizens of communist Poland against compulsory assigning of new tenants to their dwellings, presented in the light of the source materials found in the Central Archives of Modern Records in Warsaw. The set of documents contain also the letters about housing matters, addressed, among others, to the Office of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Public Administration. Their authors used various arguments, from the appeals to the state’s ideology to their own services on behalf of communist Poland. They were also taking full advantage of their professional position and social standing (this was extremely successful).Assigning new occupants to existing houses was one of the solutions with which the authorities responded to the housing problems within their housing policy. In 1944–1956 the possibility to assign new individuals or whole families to “underpopulated” homes was the subject of hope by some while the subject of concern by others. “Underpopulation” occurred when the living space in square metres per a tenant was bigger than the norm set by the central and local authorities. For example: a family of three persons was allowed to occupy two rooms; a single person, regardless of their professional occupation, could have only one room.As a result of such restrictive regulations issued by the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic, the most aggrieved social group in the struggle for self-contained home became those whom the Republic was supposed to serve – the workers.
