The new Housing Law includes new terms that had not been considered in any previous legislation and that <u>affect all actors in the real estate market<\/u>. Among the main changes of the Housing Law, we must highlight the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Firstly, the increase in rental prices will be limited to 3% in 2024, with the provision of establishing a new index from 2025 in areas with high demand. This limitation will affect <u>large and small property owners<\/u>, and will apply to both existing and new contracts. In the case of new lease agreements, they will be affected by a limitation in the rental price, applying the reference price index.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another change is the explicit <u>attribution<\/u> of the payment of real estate <strong>management expenses and contract formalization <\/strong>to the <u>property owner<\/u><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, the Housing Law provides for a <strong>system of tax incentives in the Personal Income Tax (IRPF) <\/strong>for owners of rental properties in tense areas, however, it is only foreseen for new lease agreements, rehabilitated housing or decreases in the rental price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regarding <strong>evictions<\/strong>, the Housing Law establishes new extensions that could delay the processes for <strong>more than 2 years<\/strong>. In addition, an <strong>extraordinary extension of one year<\/strong> is established in cases of accredited situations of <strong>social or economic vulnerability in rental contracts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new law also introduces changes in the figure of the large property owner of houses, which can be <strong><u>either a natural or legal person, with 10 or more properties<\/u><\/strong>, who must apply a limitation index of the price in tense areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The regulation also establishes a mechanism for municipalities to <strong>penalize<\/strong> empty homes for more than 2 years <strong>in the Property Tax (IBI)<\/strong>. The penalty will range from 50% to 150% depending on the duration and number of properties owned by the same owner. Likewise, the Housing Law relaxes the requirements <u>to consider an area tense<\/u>, which can be declared if <strong>one of two conditions is met<\/strong>: if the financial effort exceeds 30% of the average income or if prices have increased at least three points above the CPI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At <strong>Addwill<\/strong>, we are at your disposal if you wish to expand the information and advice on the subject by our professional experts.
