Spain expected to approve housing decrees that triggered snap election
The decrees would add rent caps, eviction limits and a new tax on seasonal rentals as Spain faces nationwide housing protests.
- Spain’s government is expected to reapprove two housing decrees after Parliament rejected them last week, a defeat that prompted Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to call a snap election for November 29.
- The measures include rent caps, temporary protections against evictions and restrictions on corporate purchases of residential properties.
- The decrees are expected to be considered by a 69-member caretaker body after Parliament was dissolved ahead of the election, with the measures reportedly holding a narrow majority of support.
- The government plans to make minor changes to the decrees while maintaining or strengthening their tenant-protection provisions, according to Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun.
- Spain’s worsening housing crisis has sparked nationwide protests, particularly after the attempted eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid, making housing a central issue ahead of the snap election.
