Spain Agrees on Measures to Fix Housing Crisis, Ban Eviction
The package would protect vulnerable renters through 2030 and could benefit more than 5 million people, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Spain's coalition government announced a housing decree banning evictions until 2030 and regulating short-term rentals to address the nation's housing crisis. The measures also automatically extend existing rental contracts by two years.
- Massive protests erupted in Madrid after riot police forcefully removed 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal from her home on a stretcher last week. Hundreds of demonstrators then camped in Puerta del Sol demanding stronger tenant protections.
- Proposed rules restrict so-called "vulture funds" from purchasing properties until 2028 and require proof that short-term rental contracts serve genuine temporary needs. The measures target investment firms that drive up housing costs for vulnerable tenants.
- Abascal's lawyer, Beatriz Duro, announced on Tuesday that the pensioner could return home under a preliminary settlement requiring her to pay 30% of her pension monthly, equivalent to around €500.
- Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's minority government faces a parliamentary vote this Friday, but Junts spokesperson Miriam Nogueras warned the decree unfairly "lumps together" small landlords with profit-driven funds, risking its passage.
