The housing decree that has come into effect limits rent increases and facilitates two-year extensions for tenants with contracts expiring before 2029, as well as establishing protective measures against evictions and new contracts for rentals. #Vivienda #Alquiler #DerechosInquilinos (translated)

The new decree approved by the Government protects the requests for the extension of rental contracts that were made during the first extension that was rejected by Congress in April, while also introducing new extraordinary extensions until 2030 for tenants who are up to date with payments. #Vivienda #Alquileres #Prórroga (translated)

The government publishes a second decree on indefinite contracts in the BOE that will come into effect on November 15, subject to validation by the Permanent Commission, while the first decree has already been approved and establishes restrictions on the purchase of housing by large holders and mandatory extensions of rental agreements. #Alquileres #DecretoGobierno #Vivienda (translated)

The new housing decrees of the Spanish government include the extension of the moratorium on vulture funds until 2030, support measures for home purchases, and protections against evictions for vulnerable tenants, in an effort to address the housing crisis. #Vivienda #Alquiler #Desahucios (translated)

The Council of Ministers has reactivated the decrees on housing, establishing 10 billion euros in financing for the purchase of the first home, two-year extensions for rentals, and public payment of eviction costs, although its implementation will depend on approval in the Permanent Deputation after the dissolution of the Parliament. #Vivienda #Alquiler #Desahucios (translated)

We are going to do it for coherence and responsibility, knowing that this is a measure that is a patch and that measures will have to be taken from a comprehensive perspective. The spokesperson for the PNV in the Congress of Deputies, Maribel Vaquero, confirmed this Tuesday that they will vote in the Permanent Deputation in favor of the first Housing decree and against the second, which provides for the indefinite extension of rentals, as she did last Friday in the lower House. #PNV #DecretoVivienda #Alquileres (translated)

The PNV has announced its support for the first housing decree in the Permanent Deputation, while opposing the second decree that proposes an indefinite extension of rentals, arguing that both measures are insufficient to address the housing problem in a comprehensive manner. #PNV #DecretoVivienda #Alquileres (translated)

The electoral advance announced this Monday by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has turned the XV legislature, which began after the elections on July 24, 2023, into the first one to be conducted entirely with the extended public accounts, those of 2023, which have also become the longest-lasting. #Elecciones2026 #PresupuestosGenerales #EconomíaEspañola (translated)

Martin Varsavsky stated that Pedro Sánchez had called for general elections on November 29, which, as he wrote, represented the third electoral advance. He also noted that the legislature was ending without new budgets and without any debate on the state of the nation. Varsavsky linked the call to the Congress's rejection, on Friday, of two housing decrees from the government, with the votes of PP, Vox, and Junts. He argued that in Moncloa they believed that social discontent could give them an opportunity and that the plan was to recover the measures and campaign with them. The author indicated that the decrees included mandatory extensions of leases and limited rent increases to 2% until the end of 2027. He added that, at the proposal of Sumar, they included mandatory renewals of five or seven years and a compensation of twelve monthly payments if the owner did not renew the contract. By way of comparison, Varsavsky cited Argentina's Rental Law of 2020. He asserted that the supply of apartments in Buenos Aires hit its historic low in February 2023 and that Javier Milei repealed the law in December of that year. According to his figures, in 2024 the supply increased by 195% and rents rose by 64%, against inflation close to 118%; for this reason, he stated that in real terms they fell for the first time since 2019. Varsavsky argued that if landlords could not reclaim their homes or update rents, they would withdraw them from the rental market or allocate them to seasonal rentals, which reduced the supply and made flats more expensive. He added that the young people camping in Sol were the ones who suffered the most. He also suggested that the elections would decide between more control and more supply, and mentioned land, permits, and construction as ways to increase it. #Elecciones2023 #Vivienda #Política (translated)

UpdateCharts reported that Lula stated he enjoys competing in the second round and expressed confidence in winning against the Bolsonaro candidates. He compared the competition to a match that would already be in extra time. https://t.co/bGxZDZzOnv #Lula #Eleições2022 #Brasil (translated)

PT Brazil issued a statement attributed to Lula, who said he is good in knockouts and mentioned that the game would start while the competition was in extra time. He added that they would talk on Monday and that on Tuesday, the Bolsonaro family should take care. The publication ended with a call to move forward. #Lula #Jogo #Matamata (translated)

The housing measures, which included compensation for eviction and rental extensions, have been rejected after the 'no' from Junts and other right-wing parties, putting an end to the hopes of thousands of tenants who were calling for greater protection and security in the current context of the housing crisis. #Vivienda #Desahucios #Alquiler (translated)

Julen Bollain stated that PP, Vox, and Junts had rejected a series of housing measures in Congress. According to what he wrote, they included stopping evictions of vulnerable people until 2030; automatically renewing rental contracts for periods of 5 or 7 years; regulating seasonal and room rentals; extending contracts for up to 2 years and limiting some rent increases. He also pointed out proposals to stop speculative housing purchases by funds, apply a VAT of 10% on tourist apartments, and establish surcharges on the property tax for empty and tourist homes. He added tax deductions for tenants, incentives for landlords who reduce rents, and interest-free loans of up to 50,000 euros for the purchase of a first home. Bollain also included measures to protect public housing and expand the affordable supply, compensate tenants when the landlord does not renew without legal cause, and maintain special extensions for vulnerable households and tense areas. He concluded that what had happened should be known. #Vivienda #Alquiler #Desahucios (translated)

Junts has presented an alternative proposal to the government's housing law decree, which includes eliminating mandatory extensions and the 2% limit on rent updates, prioritizing voluntary agreements between landlords and tenants, and increasing legal security for landlords. #Alquiler #Vivienda #Junts (translated)

Pedro Sánchez is even considering bringing the elections forward to November 29 if both decrees fall, both the one providing greater protection against evictions and the one establishing the automatic extension of leases, something that will happen if Junts does not change the decision communicated on Thursday night. #Vivienda #Alquiler #HuelgaGeneral (translated)
