How does the new housing law affect tenants?

After many months of blocking, ERC and Bildu have agreed with the State Government to unblock the Housing Law. Without a doubt, this is one of the most eagerly awaited pieces of legislation by the people, especially tenants. The aim of this law is to facilitate access to housing for citizens, at a time when there has been a notorious rise in rental prices in stressed areas, on the other hand, the shortage of housing causes many problems in today's society. 

 

The new State Housing Law is postulated as a solution to the skyrocketing prices in the big cities, especially in Madrid and Barcelona. To facilitate access to housing, the rental price regulation system, so feared by landlords, will be implemented, and other aid and complementary measures will be activated. 

 

Tenants are the main protagonists in the new State Housing Law, because some of the most important measures contemplated in it are aimed at facilitating access to housing in terms of prices and availability. In this article we are going to focus on tenants, so if you are one of them, pay attention to what's new.
