With the inclusion of Bilbao and Vitoria, the three Basque capitals have already strained their rental areas
The resolution of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda also includes Astigarraga and Usurbil. Once published in the BOE, from this Friday A, all new housing rental contracts in these four municipalities must be subject to the price of the previous contract, which will avoid disproportionate increases and may even lead to less rotation.
the three Basque capitalsare already areas of tense rental market, as the Official Gazette of the State (BOE) published this Thursday the declaration for Bilbaoand Vitoria-Gasteiz.
San Sebastian was declared a tense zone in the order published by the BOE on July 29.
The resolution of this quarter of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda, which includes, in addition to Bilbao and Vitoria, Astigarraga and Usurbil , covers the entire scope of these four municipalities, with the exception of the rural area built by small local entities not included in the urban plot of the Alavesa capital.
To date, the municipalities of Errenteria, Irun, Barakaldo, Zumaia, Lasarte-Oria, Donostia-San Sebastián, Galdakao (2nd District), Vitoria-Gasteiz, Usurbil, Bilbao and Astigarraga have been declared tense areas.
According to the Ministry, 304 municipalities in four autonomous communities (Basque Country, Navarra, Catalonia and Galicia) have been declared in tension throughout Spain.
This measure involves maintaining rental prices, and the Spanish Government recalled on Thursday that the results in Catalonia show that the measure "works", since in the first year the price of contracts in Catalonia fell by 4.9% in the tense areas and more than 11,000 new rental contracts were signed.
With the declaration published in the BOE, as of this Friday, all new housing rental contracts in these four municipalities must be subject to the price of the previous contract, which will avoid excessive increases and may even lead to a smaller rotation.
In addition, the rule provides that public administrations are obliged to implement a plan of urgent measures to increase the offer of rentin order to reverse the situation of the rental market within three years.
The Minister of Housing and Urban Agenda, Isabel Rodriguez, has argued that this measure is useful in maintaining rental prices because it "breaks the excessive rise in rental prices" and "gives tenants stability."
