# Spain's Permanent Deputation to vote on housing

12 November 2026 at 11:59

> The Spanish government faces a crucial vote today on two housing decrees offering rent caps and tenant protections ahead of elections.

The Permanent Deputation will vote on two housing decrees on Thursday, 12 November 2026. These measures were included in the Council of Ministers by the Spanish government following a failed Congress vote on 2 October, ahead of elections on 29 November.

Real Decree-law 28/2026 introduces automatic five or seven-year extensions and tenant compensation for unjustified property recovery. Real Decree-law 29/2026, active since 8 October, offers two-year extensions and caps rent increases at a maximum of 2%.

The Ministry of Consumption estimates median household savings of 4,341 euros, rising to 10,625 euros in Málaga. While non-validation results in repeal, it does not necessarily eliminate effects produced while the legislation remained in force until now.
