“Why is the (Anti-Slum Law) not addressed in Congress? What are they afraid of? “Why don’t they protect families and the middle classes?” cut off the council president. Juanma Moreno To the Socialist representatives in Parliament … Andalusian. In the discussion on the state of society, the popular leader expressed concern about the usurpation of homes and the violation of private property.
The Andalusian executive authority recognizes the problem of randomness and disturbances that, in its view, stem from government housing law, “Which generated a great deal of legal uncertainty,” creating “an imbalance in favor of the tenant and leaving landlords more vulnerable.”
Moreover, this situation is evident in regions such as Andalusia, where it is found Large garden of second homes, It currently leads the purchase of second homes, especially those vulnerable to default and occupations.
The rhetoric that has been maintained for years by other autonomous communities, such as Catalonia, promotes coexistence and even encourages informality, «“It had a detrimental effect.” About the problem. In the face of this, Andalusia defended a firm position: Zero tolerance for illegal occupationalong with a real protection policy for vulnerable people who need support.”
In the second quarter, data from General Council of the Judiciary It turned out that in those three months (April, May and June), Andalusia surpassed Catalonia in the number of eviction complaints. However, the Council emphasizes that “foreclosures due to non-payment of rent have decreased by 8.4% in Andalusia in the annual comparison between 2023 and 2024, while in Catalonia they have increased by 7.4%. Of the 20,558 launches registered in Spain in 2024, 2,712 correspond to Andalusia and 5,539 to Catalonia.” However, “as for verbal property resulting from illegal occupation, Andalusia is slightly ahead of Catalonia, Despite the Council’s warning about this A large portion of occupations are not reportedWhich distorts the real numbers.
The Andalusian government notes that it maintains “its own compensation program for landlords whose tenants have stopped paying and been declared vulnerable, thus ensuring security for both parties.” But the difficulty of accessing these files and the ease with which these cases are approved means that these compensations arrive too late. When they arrive.
What can the Andalusian Housing Law do?
“The policies implemented in Andalusia are effective,” they say. “We are continuing to work on establishing ourselves as well A land where legality is protected, Legal security and private property, and where measures are taken with all available tools to dissuade, advise and inform citizens,” notes the Ministry of Housing.
In parallel, it is expanding Providing affordable housing for rent, In the face of a central government that “proposes only interference in public affairs.” Private sector owners representing 95% Of housing «for rent in Spain.
The new housing law in Andalusia, which is about to be approved, strengthens the fight against illegal appropriation with various tools: Establishment of the Andalusian Information and Advice System on Evictions and Illegal Occupation, Launching the inter-ministerial coordination committee and strengthening municipal advisory units. The law also states that any person shall be found guilty of committing a crime Final sentence By occupation in the past five years You will not be able to buy a protected home.
“It is necessary to protect private property and act against the occupation,” Juanma Moreno insisted this week. According to experts, Lack of legal certainty reduces the rental offer by up to 30%, It is the first choice for young people to obtain housing,” he says. “We call on the central government, which has the powers, to put aside ideology and protect those families who have a house and do not rent it for fear of its occupation. Private property must be protected by laws, and we will not allow families and young people to pay the price for demagogic and ideological policies.”
