The Government admits to "negative effects on the rental supply" from its decree but not "significant" ones, because it could have been more interventionist.

The Spanish government has acknowledged in an official report sent to Congress that its rental decree has caused negative effects on the housing rental supply. However, the administration maintains that these impacts are not appreciable.

According to the official documentation, the government justifies the limited scale of these negative effects by arguing that the measures could have been significantly more interventionist. The report highlights that authorities deliberately chose not to completely fix rental prices or involve judges directly in the process.

Additionally, the official stance specifies that the penalties introduced by the decree are designed to target only property owners who have brought the consequences upon themselves through their own actions.
