  "account": "A Spanish decree published today by the Official Journal of the European Union brings a two-year extension to rental agreements, exempting owners from raising rent prices. This measure, one of the star initiatives of the government in housing policy, was ultimately included in the first of two decrees to be presented to the Congress of Deputies the following day. The two-year rental extension applies to all contracts expiring before December 31st, 2028, and can be requested in two stages. Owners are practically obligated to accept this extension, potentially allowing contracts to run until the end of 2030 without a rent increase. Tenants whose leases end before December 31st, 2028, can request an initial one-year extension, which can be renewed for a second year. To request this extension, tenants must be up-to-date on rent payments and have not missed payments in the eight months preceding the request. Owners must accept the extraordinary extension, maintaining the terms of the current contract, including no rent increase. However, the decree includes exceptions. Owners may refuse to apply the extension if they reach an agreement with the tenant to renew the contract at a price at least 5% lower, which effectively means extending the tenant's stay in the property for an additional five years. The extension will not apply if the owner needs the property for their own use or for a close relative, a provision that has been in place for lease suspensions. Beyond the extraordinary extension, the decree also modifies the Urban Rental Law to include a tacit extension, which automatically extends the lease beyond five (or seven, if the owner is a company) years. In such cases, the owner must notify at least four months in advance if they do not wish to renew the contract, while the tenant must do so with two months' notice. Failure to do so will result in an automatic one-year extension, capped at three years.",
