Penalty for raising rent, ease of construction and tenant protection: the hotspots of the housing decree
The Government rescues the draft that it failed to pass in July and which affects several aspects of the regulation of the real estate market that make the interests of the political groups clash with each other.
The government is once again working on the text of the housing decree law that circulated in July, but failed to gain sufficient support in preliminary talks to present it in the Congress. The 69-page draft focuses on various aspects affecting the real estate market, ranging from urban rental laws to land law, civil litigation law, local fiscal law, and various types of taxes that can penalize or incentivize rentals.
The contrasting approaches, almost philosophical, of political groups regarding the rights and obligations surrounding property ownership make some of their visions irreconcilable when trying to achieve a parliamentary majority.
Among the most contentious points are the restrictions on evictions—some fear this could lead to occupation—and the freezing of rents. The use of fiscal policies and flexibility in licenses for accelerating the construction of dwellings are also under scrutiny.
