In a detailed record of November 25, 1752, Jan Małachowski released his peasants from serfdom, and transformed the residencies into rentals. This record confirms the privileges that were granted by King August III on November 15, 1752, for all of the general forest estate area of Myszniec. The amount of the annual rent was set at 253 Polish złoty and 10 groszy.
In 1765, there were 8 landlords that paid, in addition the rent above, 6 Polish złoty for taxes on the sale of alcoholic beverages. However, the tax privilege was not granted to the village (the village did not receive the tax payments?).
In 1799, the annual rental fees were raised to 274 Polish złoty and 4 groszy. The taxes on the sale of alcoholic beverages in the farming settlements were raised to 8 Polish złoty.
In 1820, there were 16 tenant farms and 3 cottages. Peasants were required to pay 423 Polish złoty and 22 groszy to fund the local economy. From this amount, 274 Polish złoty and 4 groszy went for rent, 128 Polish złoty went towards taxes on alcoholic beverage sales, and 9 Polish złoty and 18 groszy went towards a tithe for renovations of the Pułtusk seminary that was established in 1799. The work performed by the cottagers was converted into a payment of 12 Polish złoty. The land was divided into 32 fields, which were sown for 48 bushels of vegetables and corn for winter use.
