A renter in Spain who signed a five-year lease in July 2019, which was extended by three years, is wondering if the landlord can terminate the contract in 2027 under new housing decrees. According to the law, the landlord can choose not to renew the contract with a minimum 30-day notice. If the landlord provides the notice, the tenant may request an extension under certain circumstances.
The Royal Decree-law 29/2026 of October 6 allows tenants to request an extraordinary extension of up to two additional years, renewable yearly, if the lease expires before December 31, 2028.
