Housing Union: Barcelona court suspends eviction due to government decree

The Housing Union reported that a court in Barcelona suspended an eviction in the Sant Andreu district. This required the application of decrees passed by the Council of Ministers. New rental regulations on the Canary Islands introduce changes regarding tenant protection and contracts.

The Housing Union explained that the decree passed by the Council of Ministers allowed the suspension of an eviction. The eviction was scheduled for Thursday in the Sant Andreu district of Barcelona. The organisation organised an action to stop the eviction of Maci. Maci is a tenant facing a second eviction attempt this year. The union's legal team requested the court suspend the eviction. They cited the need to implement decrees approved by the Council of Ministers on Tuesday. These decrees are subject to debate in the Congress the following day. The voting result is unpredictable. Negotiations are ongoing between parliamentary groups. These groups will decide whether the measures of Pedro Sánchez's coalition government are approved or rejected.

On the Canary Islands, the decree introduces changes to residential rentals. The new regulations affect the rights and obligations of property owners and tenants. The norm extends protection against certain evictions until 2030. It modifies the rules for temporary rentals. It establishes new conditions for contracts and property purchases.
