Sánchez–Sumar Housing Rift Deepens as Díaz Rejects Tax Break but Calls for a Deal

Coalition discord now makes passage of the landlord tax bonus uncertain.

Overview

  • Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced a 100% IRPF deduction for landlords who keep rents unchanged at renewal.
  • Yolanda Díaz criticized the rollout as unilateral and said Sumar will not back what she calls a giveaway to landlords, noting they were informed minutes before the announcement.
  • Later on Wednesday, Díaz signaled that PSOE and Sumar will have to reach an agreement and confirmed ongoing contacts between the partners.
  • Housing minister Isabel Rodríguez defended the plan as rooted in the existing Housing Law and said the government is assembling support to advance parts of the package, including measures targeting short‑term rental abuses.
  • Without Sumar’s backing and with the PP expected to oppose, the tax incentive faces a difficult vote in Congress, while in Madrid official data undercut alarm over okupación even as public agencies report thousands of units occupied without title.
