Astigarraga and Usurbil, a tense residential market area
With this strategy, the Basque Government aims to strengthen protection against evictions, guarantee the right to housing and analyse the indicators of tension generated by the capital as a municipality bi of the metropolitan area of San Sebastián.
The Basque Government has approved the declarationof Astigarraga and Usurbil as strained areas of the residential market , in order to deal with the difficulties of access to housing in these two municipalities located in the vicinity of Donostia-San Sebastián . This qualification, included in the Official Gazette of the Basque Country (BOPV) and pending publication in the BOE, is due to the increase in rent prices.
In Astigarraga, families spend an average of 31.2% of their income on housing, while in Usurbil rental prices have increased by almost 20% in five years.
The declaration shall establish, for three years, specific plans to increase the supply of housing, regulate rental prices and strengthen aid, including actions such as new promotions of protected housing (more than 60 per cent of the total in both municipalities), urban regeneration and the promotion of models of housing with care or residential accommodation.
Instruments such as the Reference Price Index are also being advanced, which is expected to be by the end of the month, and which will make it possible to limit the prices of new rental contracts by applying stricter measures to empty or newly unrented housing.
In addition, the Housing and Urban Agenda Counsellor ofthe Basque Government, Denis Itxaso, has stated that "the measures strengthen protection against evictions and enable extraordinary extensions of contracts when tenants are in a situation of vulnerability", that the municipalities "will apply surcharges on uninhabited housing in the Real Estate Tax and plan to establish a specific fee for unjustified punishment of vacant properties", and that penalties and restrictions are also provided for the possible expropriation of unused plots.
It will also promote thetransformation ofthe commercial and municipal premises in the neighbourhood into housing and the expansion of existing buildings, a strategy with which the Basque Government intends to strengthen protection against evictions, guarantee the right to housing and stop the pressure exerted by the capital of Donostiarra on its metropolitan environment.
