The Spanish Government issued Royal Decree-Law 8/2021 to establish urgent health, social, and legal measures following the expiration of the state of alarm on May 9, 2021. The decree extends protections for vulnerable consumers regarding utility supplies and social bonuses, and prolongs housing protections including moratoriums on evictions and lease extensions until August 9, 2021. Additionally, it mandates enhanced health controls for international passengers and allows property owners' meetings to be held virtually to resolve administrative deadlocks.
