self-imposed calendar Catalonia Generalitat to start treatment Catalan housing market proceeding as planned under the parameters of the new state law. If all goes well, the 143 cities and towns that the Government included in the list of municipalities under stress in the same August will officially become so. And with a last-minute change – and again with the Government’s approval – those with five or more homes will be considered ”.big forks‘. Defining a large owner as the owner of 10 or more houses is half that established in the general framework designed for the country as a whole.
The change came about as a result of nearly 50 memorable claims. District ‘conselleria’ In June, when it announced its intention to declare these 143 municipalities under tension (almost a hundred municipalities Barcelonaher metropolitan area and the largest cities of the regions valleys). As announced on Wednesday The ‘council member’ in charge of this department, Ester CapellaThe body decided to consider two of these: changes the definition of the big fork and any other terminology social housing promoters in case of rental housing.
“We told you in June that we were analyzing whether we were taking advantage of that fact. state highway permits, and this option market rent economic much more housing”, Capella justified in regard to the decision to reduce the number of houses from ten to five, which makes a landlord a large owner.
According to a study by Metropolità de l’Habitatge observatory Barely 7.7% of all rental properties Generalitat works with are owned by owners of 6 to 10 story homes. Without further progress, in BarcelonaWhen those with 5 or more homes are included, the number of large property owners rises from 2,000 to 4,500, according to data from this metropolis.
This label is important for several reasons. The most important of these is that the new state housing law prevents large homeowners from raising housing prices. annual rental fee although the apartment is not located in a stressful area, it gives its tenants more than 2% this year and more than 3% the following year.
If so, added to this is the obligation to give much more. housing information More than usual so far, if the government requests: identity data of the property, Year of construction, type of reform if it was use of certain areas of the floor, Energy Ratingdetailed description of what the house is used for… Also, the law states that large owners extending the lease for one year if the tenants show a situation social and economic fragilitybesides the payment real estate management expenses And formalization of the contract.
entry into force
Once the deadline for submission of claims has passed and these two changes have been decided, Generalitat will now send all this information to: Madrid like this Agenda of the Ministry of Transport and Urbanization to approve memory aspect price index and all that (and above all, ” rental enclosure“) can be implemented as soon as possible. Catalonia. If there were no problems, Generalitat’s calculations suggest that this new framework could go into effect this August.
“We followed all the steps indicated by the lawthis should not be a re-evaluation, in the sense of re-evaluating all the mechanisms considered”, “the member of parliament” put forward to justify his optimism that this is agile management. “Catalonia has an advantage in this regard because we already had own lawHe added. In fact, Capella took the opportunity to highlight this as a “much more complete” law than will apply hereafter: according to him, the state norm speculation already circumvent the norm.
possible prosecution
The Generalitat’s decision also implies that, read otherwise, more than 40 claims were excluded from the norm. Someone asked what the ‘president of the parliament’ told us this Wednesday compensation to tenants, the law being unenforceable, or City Councils demanding both inclusion and removal from the list of municipalities under pressure. “We’ve studied them all,” Capella assured, asking her possible reaction. real estate agents or developersdid not rule out the possibility of going to court.
“I hope and hope that a law will be passed that the Grand National Assembly of Turkey will approve. chambers of parliament applicable to guarantee. fundamental right”, the head of the department decided. “I also hope that the courts will weigh what rights are at stake” and right of access to housing“, added. Especially considering that the Generalitat had to admit that this year the Constitutional Court had annulled part of the Catalan law.
“It is clear that a Emergencywhich is access to housing Capella concluded: “The Government of Catalonia is the main problem that the citizens of this country have. right to shelterwill take all necessary actions to secure this right, which opens the door to all other rights,” the owner promised.
