After more than a year since the Draft Law for the Right to Housing, the Congress approved it on Thursday 27 April. It is based on article 47 of the Spanish Constitution, which establishes the right to enjoy decent and adequate housing.<\/em><\/h5>\n

Its main objective is to provide the Autonomous Communities and City Councils with the most homogeneous regulation possible to promote an affordable housing market for the entire population.<\/p>\n

This is the first law that legislates, and therefore regulates, the right to decent housing in our country.<\/p>\n

Among the novelties we can highlight<\/p>\n

\u2022 Modification of the concept o f large real estate holder, which is decreased from 10 properties to 5.
\n\u2022 As from 2024 the maximum indicator for updating the rent will not be the IPC but a fixed rate of 3%.
\n\u2022 Real estate expenses become the obligation of the lessor.
\n\u2022 Extension of the declaration of stressed areas and regulation of the price of rents in these areas.
\n\u2022 More taxes for empty houses.
\n\u2022 In return, there will be income tax credits for small holders in stressed areas, ranging from 50% to 90%.
\n\u2022 Tax advantages for those renting at reduced prices
\n\u2022 Urban land is made available to municipal and regional governments for the construction of social housing.<\/p>\n

In addition, through this new Law, the percentage of land destined for subsidiz ed housing (VPO) is increased. At present, 30% of the developable land is destined for this type of housing, which is now 40%, while the unconsolidated urban land is increased from 10% to 20%.<\/p>\n

With respect to stressed areas, these are areas where the price of rent has increased significantly over th e rest of the territory. In order to be considered a s it , and therefore, to regulate the price of rent, one of these conditions must be met: (i) the price of rents must have increased by more than 3% of the IPC value of the last 5 years or (ii) the average price of housing must represent at least 30% of the average income of the area<\/p>\n

The law has been submitted to the Senate and will enter into force once it is published in the BOE.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
