Renters in Spain Face Major Housing Changes
The package extends tenancy terms, bans some evictions and limits fund purchases of homes until 2028, as ministers sought coalition backing.
- On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, The Spanish Government, led by Prime Minister Pedro, approved two emergency housing decrees despite lacking guaranteed parliamentary support for the measures.
- The eviction of an 87-year-old tenant in Madrid triggered protests at Puerta and Sol, forcing The Government to accelerate the legislative process and meet the resulting public deadline.
- Provisions include automatic tenancy renewals, a ban on evicting vulnerable tenants until 2030, and restrictions on investment funds purchasing residential property through 2028.
- With Junts having abandoned negotiations on September 28 and opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijoo rejecting both measures, The Government requested an extraordinary Congress session for October 2 to prevent texts from lapsing within 30 days.
- Spain has recorded the steepest decline in Europe for young people leaving the family home, and previous legislative defeats suggest The Spanish Government faces significant political hurdles ahead despite the decrees' social urgency.
