Access to housing in Spain is an increasingly complicated issue for families. On the one hand, the sale prices make it impossible for many to pay an entrance fee. The solution usually involves renting a house, but in this case the situation … It’s not very favorable either.
Market saturation or high rental prices make it difficult for many families to pay rent. Added to this is the fear of many owners that their tenants will become inquiokupas.
Conditions required for owners to benefit from state guarantees
The housing law approved by the government – and the measures that followed – have not completely solved the problem. The last of the Government’s measures approved by the Council of Ministers consists, according to the executive, of “facilitating” access to rental for both young people under 35 and vulnerable people through guarantees.
As ABC explains, “In practice, it would be an insurance for the owner against non-payment of rent”. However, state protection if a tenant stops paying their landlord will only be granted in certain circumstances.
For example, owners must rent their accommodation to under 35 years old or vulnerable people and rents will not be able to exceed the State benchmark index, as well as the signing of a commitment concerning the rental guarantee. Another notable condition is that only those who have contracts signed on January 30, 2025therefore the others, who constitute the vast majority, are left aside.
