The aim of the paper is to examine how the form of ownership of rented flats determines the
appraisal of the property. One of the particular issues is the question about the relation between the
ownership rights (or their absence) and the tenant’s sense of title to property being social housing
rented flats. The author presents results of his research based on survey conducted in 2004 in
Szczecin and secondary data. As the analysis shows, the sense of property manifests itself in two
ways, as: (1) a flat having a symbolic and (2) useable value.
