The Association of Rental Housing Owners (ASVAL), in which large homeowners and small homeowners in Spain participate, “Regulating rental prices will not solve the problem of lack of rental housing supplyabove all social and at an affordable price”. Led by Joan Clos, ex-Minister of Industry and former mayor of Barcelona from PSC, the association believes in “international experience” showed that price controls reduce supply and limit investment.making access to housing more difficult for vulnerable groups”, creating “major legal uncertainty in the market”.
The Association of Rental Property Owners Realtors (ASIPA), which includes the main Spanish real estate companies with all kinds of assets, lays out the new Housing Law as follows: “short-term and inefficient measure”, this “does not solve the main problem underlying leasing in Spain, the lack of supply”. Immediate consequences include: “It will cause the housing to be withdrawn from the market” and that prices “become more expensive in the medium and long term”. ASIPA also hoped that it would “have a broader vision and trust the opinion of all concerned” and denounced “approving it hastily and with political and ideological noise in the background and at the doors”. A choice doesn’t seem like the best way to do it.”
