PP Rejects Talks With Sumar Over Housing Decree

The refusal leaves the rent cap plan at risk in a split Congress.

Overview

  • The Popular Party, contacted by Sumar on Tuesday through PP spokeswoman Ester Muñoz, said it would not attend a meeting on the decree’s convalidation.
  • The decree now in force allows tenants to extend leases for two years and caps rent hikes at 2% for contracts that end before the close of 2027.
  • Sumar has launched a bid to gather votes and apply street pressure with unions and social groups to keep the measure in place.
  • Junts says it will vote against the decree, arguing it creates legal uncertainty and cuts the supply of homes.
  • The PP calls the government’s housing policy a disaster and favors building more homes and legal certainty over controls, which leaves tenants unsure whether the new extensions will survive a vote.
