Lawyers fear a wave of lawsuits over the housing decree: "It's crazy, it looks like propaganda"
Jurists describe the text that Congress is voting on today as "ludicrous", as it contains indeterminate legal concepts and does not clarify key points such as regulation against funds.
Two housing decrees to be voted on in the Spanish Congress are expected to face significant opposition and potential legal challenges. Experts warn that the decrees' wording leaves many loopholes, which could lead to a wave of litigation between landlords and tenants over issues such as rent increases and lease extensions. The decrees aim to regulate the purchase of homes for rental by investment funds and entities, but critics argue that the rules are unclear and may unfairly target certain entities.
Matilde Cuena, a civil law professor at the Complutense University of Madrid, and Miguel Morales, a lawyer, have expressed concerns about the decrees' constitutionality and potential impact on the housing market. Gonzalo Bernardos, a professor at the University of Barcelona, warns that the decrees could reduce the offer of rental housing in Spain by up to 20%.
