Spain caps rent rises at 2% until 2027
Original: 🇪🇸 España congela las subidas de alquiler en el 2% hasta 2027, con inflación del 4,9%. Resultado: 2.900 anuncios retirad
Spain has frozen annual rent increases at 2% through 2027, well below the current inflation rate of 4.9%. The measure has drawn sharp reaction: reports say around 2,900 rental listings have been withdrawn and Madrid's rental supply has fallen by roughly 20%, with critics warning the decree discourages landlords and tightens an already strained housing market.
Why now: The rent cap is a major intervention in Spain's housing crisis, and landlords and tenants are contesting its effects as supply shrinks.
