The Permanent Deputation saves the anti-eviction decree but rejects the extension of rentals

The Permanent Deputation of Congress has validated the main housing decree but rejected the indefinite rental contracts proposed by Sumar. The government managed to pass the decree with a narrow vote of 35 to 34, despite opposition from PP, Vox, and Junts. The approved measures include a two-year extension for certain leases, a cap on rent increases until 2027, and enhanced protections against evictions. The rejection of the second decree was influenced by the PNV's vote, which argued that automatic extensions create legal insecurity. The debate also saw tensions between ERC and Junts, with political implications as the electoral campaign approaches. Vox attempted to suspend the vote but was unsuccessful, claiming the decrees were similar to previously rejected ones.
