Spain's government has introduced measures to address the housing crisis, including a proposed extension of the eviction ban for vulnerable tenants until 2030. This decision follows public backlash against the eviction of an elderly disabled woman from her home in Madrid, which has intensified calls for housing reforms.
The cabinet has approved two decrees that require congressional approval, where the ruling coalition lacks a majority. Key proposals include regulating temporary rentals and preventing vulture funds from purchasing properties until 2028, reflecting growing concerns over housing affordability and tenant rights.
Watch for the upcoming congressional session as the government seeks to pass housing measures. The outcome may hinge on negotiations with smaller parties, particularly regarding protections for small landlords. Public protests could influence the final decisions.
