Spain's Congress of Deputies has rejected both housing decrees put forward by the government, according to Anadolu Agency.
The rejected measures reportedly included protections against evictions, provisions aimed at expanding affordable housing, and a mechanism for the automatic renewal of rental contracts.
The decrees were part of the government's broader push to address Spain's ongoing housing affordability challenges, which have drawn significant public attention amid rising rental costs in major cities.
The rejection in Congress means the measures will not take effect as proposed, though the report does not specify the vote breakdown or which parties opposed the decrees.
The government's housing policy has been a point of contention in Spanish politics, with debate continuing over how to balance tenant protections with the interests of property owners and the broader rental market.
