In a meeting with coalition partners, senior officials outlined a plan to halt evictions of vulnerable households for the next five years. The proposal, part of a broader housing package, also seeks to extend existing rental contracts by up to two years, allowing tenants to remain in their homes longer.
The draft, obtained by the newspaper, will be presented to the cabinet on Tuesday. It aims to give renters additional security while the government negotiates a new decree on housing policy.
Lawmakers from both the right‑wing and left‑wing blocs must endorse the measures. Officials said the extensions could help families facing economic hardship, especially as rental prices rise across the country.
Opposition parties have voiced concerns that the eviction ban could strain landlords and reduce housing supply. The government indicated it will seek compromises to address those objections before the cabinet vote.
If approved, the eviction protection would remain in force until 2028, and the rental‑contract extension would apply for an extra two years beyond current terms. Analysts expect the steps to be a key test of the coalition’s ability to deliver on its housing agenda.
Stakeholders will watch the cabinet’s decision closely, as it could shape Spain’s rental market and social‑housing policies for years to come.
