Overview
- The government is preparing a royal decree that would grant a 100% income tax bonus to landlords who keep rents unchanged and tighten rules on temporary and room rentals.
- Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez says the incentive already exists in Spanish law, is applied in some territories, and is explained in a publicly available base text.
- Sumar calls the bonus a gift to owners, pledges not to support it, and puts forward automatic contract renewals as an alternative.
- PSOE ministers defend the proposal as balanced and question the legality and market effects of Sumar’s renewal plan.
- The Social Rights Ministry has launched actions to remove non‑compliant rental ads in tensioned markets with potential penalties of four to six times any illicit gain, while unions urge narrowing eligibility and landlord groups await the final draft.
