Royal Decree-Law 21/2018 of 14 December on Urgent Measures in Housing and Rental Matters
The Spanish State issued Royal Decree-Law 21/2018 to address housing market imbalances by extending mandatory lease renewal periods to five or seven years and limiting additional financial guarantees to two months' rent. The regulation introduces procedural suspensions for eviction cases involving vulnerable households and reforms the horizontal property regime to facilitate accessibility improvements and regulate tourist housing. Furthermore, it implements fiscal incentives, including tax exemptions and bonuses, to encourage the supply of affordable rental housing and protect tenants' rights.
