Overview
- The decree now in force extends leases that expire in 2026 and 2027 and limits annual rent updates to 2%, but it will lapse unless Congress ratifies it within the legal 30‑day window.
- Pablo Bustinduy said formal talks with parties have not started and signaled the vote will be scheduled at the last possible sitting allowed under parliamentary rules.
- PP and Junts have stated they will not back the text, and PP refused to meet with Sumar’s negotiators, leaving the outcome dependent on other groups.
- Sumar’s Verónica Martínez urged PP deputies to break party discipline to support ratification, and the party argues the measure could affect about 3 million people.
- Bustinduy denounced what he called a campaign to declare the decree dead and urged tenants to request the extension while it applies, a push that could leave courts to sort disputes if the measure later falls.
