Government Urged to Pass Housing Decree with Crisis Shield
Sumar's Ernest Urtasun calls for the urgent approval of a housing decree alongside the crisis shield to prevent evictions like Maricarmen's.
Ernest Urtasun from Sumar has demanded that the government present the Housing Royal Decree Law to the Council of Ministers next Tuesday. This decree, if enacted, could have prevented the eviction of Maricarmen. The decree, initially rejected in March, aims to address key housing market issues and is expected to accompany the renewal of the crisis shield measures.
The proposed housing reforms include a two-year extension for rental contracts expiring by the end of 2027 and a cap on annual rent increases at 2%. These measures, previously not passed, aim to provide legal certainty for tenants. The government is urged to secure parliamentary support before proceeding.
For property buyers and investors in Spain, these proposed reforms could stabilize the rental market, making it more predictable and secure. This could enhance the appeal of investing in Spanish real estate, particularly for those interested in long-term rental opportunities.
