More than half of the housing rental supply consists of rooms and seasonal rentals.
A study by Consumo and the CSIC shows that 55.8% of advertisements offered these modalities before the October decree, which toughens requirements
More than half of the rental property listings are for rooms and seasonal stays, according to a study conducted by the Ministry of Consumption. In the six months leading up to the implementation of the October housing decree, which tightens the conditions for holding such rentals, 55.8% of the ads in Spain's capital cities were for either rental rooms or seasonal stays.
This figure contrasted with the 44.2% of properties offered for permanent residence, as reported by Javier Gil, an expert researcher in housing at the Institute of Philosophy of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (IFS-CSIC). The data aligns with the department's argument, led by Pablo Bustinduy, that the rental market has been shifting towards less stable and less secure arrangements for tenants over the past years.
