mamon wasn't correct. Quite large number of people don't own the properties. Only 3-6% of people in Poland rent apartments. Others own the place or rent from a cooperative. During communist times local factory provided flats for the workers. After factories were closed, government formed cooperatives to manage real estate. Currently, buildings are in complicated legal state. There was one period when current tenant could purchase the property for 10% of market value, but it was blocked (possibly by developers lobby). On top of that, some buildings and land have unknown owners because of WW2. I'd love see an experiment when income tax is replaced by land and property tax.
