The Government has agreed to freeze the rental price for those contracts that are renewed for six months, until June 30, 2023. This was announced by the Executive after the Council of Ministers this Tuesday and this has been confirmed by the president, Pedro Sánchez, in the subsequent press conference.
"We introduce an extension for rentals that expire before June 30," he assured.
The measure joins the extension throughout 2023 of the limitation to 2% in updating leases and both are part of the package of measures to deal with the economic and social consequences of the war in Ukraine that will come into force on 1 from January.
The rent freeze is one of the main novelties of the new package and thus complies with one of the main claims of United We Can within the negotiations;
not in vain, this has been the main stumbling block to move forward with the new decree.
The talks lasted yesterday until well into the night.
Minister Belarra and Minister Bolaños were in contact and closing some of the details, especially in relation to housing.
This morning, the teams continued to review the texts and, for example, after noticing the Social Rights team, a writing error in the extension of rental contracts was corrected, which has already been corrected in the final version, according to Europa Press. .
From United We Can they have celebrated through their social networks the promotion of this measure, in addition to those related to increasing the discount for public transport and with the check for the shopping basket.
"In the negotiation of the new social shield, we have pushed a lot to limit the rise in rents, increase the discount for public transport and for the check for the shopping basket. The media powers call it "noise". We: "improve the lives of the people", Pablo Echenique, spokesperson for United We Can in Congress, wrote on Twitter.
