Catalonia reduces the number of urban properties owned from "more than 10" to "5 or more" by considering that an owner is a large owner in the new Housing Law, as announced this Wednesday by the Minister of Territories, Ester Capella, in a press conference. This category will imply that you have to adjust to a price reference index, which will limit the contracts in case of renting in an area declared stressed. The measure comes after studying and collecting the allegations to the Catalan memory of the Housing Law that requested it. It is argued that based on the "concentration and structure of property in Catalonia" it is correct to "significantly increase the number of rental homes subject" to the law. 7.7% of rental homes are owned by owners who have been between 6 and 10 years and were left out with the previous level, it is detailed.
Thus, a large holder will be a natural or legal person who owns 5 or more urban properties for residential use or a constructed area of more than 1,500 square meters for residential use, excluding garages Job Function Email Database and storage rooms. Social promoters will be left out In June Territori already said that he was working on this discount. Capella has explained that social promoters whose purpose is "the promotion of social protection housing for rent" will be excluded, although those dedicated to the sale of housing will be excluded. These are the only two allegations, of almost 50 received, that have modified the initial report prepared by the Government in June and which numbers 140 municipalities that are stressed areas, where prior approval from Madrid, the limitation of income must be regulated. includes. applied the law. 6.2 million people reside in these municipalities, 81% of the population. The Generalitat assures that the objective is "to be able to contain rental income and guarantee fundamental access to housing.
In areas declared stressed, the income of the new contracts may not be higher than that of the last one in force in the previous five years (there will be certain exceptions but they will take the previous income as a starting point); and in the case of being a large holder, it may not exceed a price reference index that will be prepared by the INE and before December 31, 2024. After the modifications, the final report has been signed and will be sent "in the coming days" to the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda for approval. Capella assures that the Housing Law could come into force in Catalonia in August. “Catalonia has put the accelerator on to guarantee the right to housing because we are in an emergency situation and it is up to us to respond to the needs of citizens,” stated Capella. The minister detailed that in total there have been 46 complaints.
