Overview
- Official CGPJ data published Oct. 16, 2026 show 4,474 executed evictions (lanzamientos) in Q2, a 35.7% year-on-year decline driven mainly by fewer rental cases.
- Evictions tied to unpaid rent fell about 57–60%, with roughly 2,244 rental launches in Q2 and about 4,499 in the first half of 2026, while mortgage-related launches fell only about 8.9% to 1,109 in Q2.
- Catalunya had the highest number of launches in Q2 with 983 overall and 456 rental launches, while per-capita rental rates were highest in Baleares and País Vasco.
- A separate category labeled 'other causes' — including family rulings, arbitration awards and contract extinctions — surged roughly 152% to 1,121 launches in Q2, changing the composition of removals.
- The statistics have technical limits: the CGPJ counts executed judicial launches that cover various property types and not all filings translate to immediate household expulsions, and the recent high-profile evictions and protests have intensified policy debate on tenant protections.
