  "account": "The second housing decree now envisions compensation of thousands of euros for squatters who do not renew their contracts. The decree, published in the official BOE gazette, outlines an indefinite extension of rental contracts with 12-month rental penalties for landlords who refuse to renew them after the lease expires. Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Isabel Rodriguez stated on Tuesday during a press conference that the government is trying to appease citizens' protests and address the rental issue through these two decrees. However, the second decree was delayed and published in the morning, sparking alarm among property owners and most parliamentary groups. The second decree, agreed upon with the Socialist Party, mandates an immediate and indefinite extension of rental contracts. Once a contract expires or reaches five years (seven if the landlord is a legal entity), it will be extended in successive terms of the same duration, unless either party notifies the other of their intent not to extend within six months. If a property owner decides not to renew, they must compensate the tenant with the equivalent of twelve months' rent for a similar property. For example, a one-bedroom apartment in Madrid's Puerta del Sol neighborhood, with an 80 square meter floor space and an elevator, would require the owner to pay the tenant around 7,000 to 10,000 euros for not renewing the contract. One exception to this rule is if the owner must provide accommodation for themselves or a family member, in which case no compensation is required. The agreement with Podemos conflicts with the first decree, which extends the rental extension period from two to four months. The government faced criticism from various parliamentary groups and the PP leader, Alberto Nunez Feijoo, who called the decrees contradictory and warned that the lack of new housing construction would leave vulnerable people without rental options. Podemos even demanded the withdrawal of the decrees and called for a complete decree that includes all their demands, including the indefinite extension of rental periods. The government, however, urged Podemos to vote in favor of the decrees and emphasized the need for responsible action from the opposition party.",
