Overview

• The Govern and Comuns agreed to establish 100 civil-service posts attached to the Agència Catalana de la Vivenda with a budget of about €5.9 million.
• The Consell Executiu is set to formalize the positions, with the inspectorate expected to be in motion in roughly three months even if all posts are not filled by year-end.
• Inspectors will be able to act ex officio and process citizen complaints through the Generalitat portal as they police rent-containment rules.
• Deployment will prioritize areas with strained rental markets: 50 in the Barcelona vegueria, 13 in Girona, 12 in Camp de Tarragona, five each in Lleida, Terres de l’Ebre, Penedès and Catalunya Central, four in Alt Pirineu and one in Vall d’Aran.
• The unit enforces a sanctioning regime approved in January that targets rent-cap violations and seasonal-contract fraud with fines of up to €900,000, a step Comuns tied to budget support.
