What can an allotment holder be punished for? The mandates are not small

According to the regulations, the allotment holder should use the plot in such a way as not to pose a threat or hinder the use of other plots by other people. The regulations do not prohibit, for example, barbecuing on the plot on small portable grills, but a brick grill cannot be placed. For breaking the regulations applicable to Family Allotment Gardens, you can receive a fine ranging from PLN 500 to PLN 1,500. For example, the owner of an animal that was taken without a leash or muzzle may receive a fine of PLN 1,000. You can be fined PLN 500 for littering the common area. In the worst case scenario, the ROD management may terminate the lease agreement. This mainly applies to situations where the written warning has no effect and the allotment holder continues to use the plot in a manner inconsistent with the regulations.
