  "account": "The Spanish housing market is shifting towards room rentals, driven by fears of non-paying tenants and new regulations. According to Idealista, the offer of shared room rentals has surged 80% in three years, while complete home rentals have plummeted 61% since 2020. The trend is driven by increased security for landlords and higher profitability, with 35 cities seeing an increase in available rooms for rent. Despite a 12% increase in room rentals in the second quarter, prices have remained stable, rising only 1% in the past year to €425 per month.",
  "summary": "The transfer of housing to the room rental market coincides with the drought in the whole-house rental market, as a result of homeowners' fear of squatters.",
