El nuevo decreto de vivienda obliga a las administraciones a asumir la deuda de inquilinos vulnerables para frenar desahucios

The government has published two new decrees in the Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE) to address the housing crisis, approved by the Council of Ministers yesterday. The first decree, more extensive, mirrors the one rejected last Friday in Congress. Along with extending the restriction on property purchases by real estate funds until December 31, 2030 - two years longer than the previous framework - and requiring these funds to submit an independent appraisal report showing the purchase price exceeds 70% of the market value, the main novelty of the new framework relates to shielding vulnerable tenants from forced evictions.

This involves a more stringent extraordinary foreclosure prevention regime for administrations, making it harder to execute evictions when they have not provided alternative housing options.
