Spain's government has introduced a decree aimed at curbing evictions as part of its response to a deepening housing crisis, framing the move as a response to what officials describe as "savage speculation" in the housing market, according to Al Jazeera.
The measures have drawn criticism from opponents, who argue that the new rules leave small landlords without adequate protection, according to the report, reflecting a broader debate over how the burden of housing-affordability measures should be distributed between tenants, large investors and individual property owners.
Housing costs have become a significant political issue in Spain in recent years, with rising rents and limited supply fueling public frustration, particularly in major cities.
Further details of the decree's specific provisions and its expected effects on the rental market were not included in the available source material.
