The Official State Gazette (BOE) publishes the first housing decree: in the event of an eviction, the regional governments will have to pay the tenant's unpaid rent if they do not offer them alternative housing.

The Spanish government has published a new decree in the Official State Gazette (BOE) outlining urgent measures to address the national housing crisis. Under the new regulations, autonomous communities are required to cover unpaid rent for tenants facing eviction if they are unable to provide the affected individuals with an alternative housing solution. This measure follows a series of government actions intended to mitigate social unrest linked to recent eviction cases.

In addition to the rent payment mandate, the decree introduces specific regulatory constraints on the rental market. Notably, the legislation stipulates that the combined rental cost of individual rooms within a single property cannot exceed the total price of the entire unit, aiming to curb price inflation in the shared housing sector.
