The introduction of this new regulation has entailed <strong>relevant changes in our regulation<\/strong>, of which we highlight the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1) The big holders:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>concept of large holder is extended<\/strong> to legal entities and groups of companies that are owners of more than 10 homes in the whole of the territory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A <strong>Register of large holders is created<\/strong>, where large housing holders must be registered within a period of 1 month from the entry into force of the Law. The lack of registration is typified as a serious infraction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2) <u>Failure to comply with the social function of housing<\/u>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>causes of non-compliance with the social function of housing are extended<\/strong>, among which it stands out, keeping the house empty without just cause for 2 years (without occupation without legitimate title altering this situation of non-compliance).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is expected that the Administration may require the property to resolve possible situations of non-compliance with the social function. If this is not met, the Administration may exercise forced execution measures, which could include up to <strong>the forced expropriation of the home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3) <u>The TC annuls the regulation of the rental price in Catalunya<\/u><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Likewise, the regulation on housing will be affected by the recent <strong>ruling of the Constitutional Court of March 10, 2022<\/strong> (pending BOE publication), which annuls several articles of the Catalan Law 11\/2020, of September 18, of urgent measures in terms of rent containment in housing lease contracts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The aforementioned sentence <strong>will annul part of Law 11\/2020<\/strong>, of September 18, on urgent measures regarding the containment of rents in housing lease contracts and of modification of Law 18\/2007, of Law 24\/2015 and of Law 4\/2016, relating to the protection of the right to housing. So that the new rental contracts in Catalunya <strong>will not be affected by the regulation of the rental price<\/strong>. However, the sentence will not have retroactive effects, and therefore will not affect consolidated legal situations. The current contracts signed under Law 11\/2020 will remain in force in their terms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In short, the entry into force of the new Law 1\/2022, of March 3, and the nullity of part of Law 11\/2020, of September 18, will mean a new change in the regulation of housing in Catalunya, which will directly affect the new legal relationships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The legislative novelties are an interpretation made by the <strong>addwill<\/strong> team, with whom you can contact to advise you on any exposed measure, and in general, on any matter related to the regulation of housing in Catalunya.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At <strong>addwil<\/strong>l, we are at your disposal if you wish to obtain further information and advice in this regard from our expert professionals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent weeks, the regulation on housing in Catalunya has been modified by Law 1\/2022, of March 3, amending Law 18\/2007, Law 24\/2015 and  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":11456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1416],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-civil-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11460"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11460\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11462,"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11460\/revisions\/11462"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/addwill.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
