Among them is the introduction of new concepts for the <strong>legal system<\/strong> that we\u2019ll hear often. It\u2019s important to be familiar with them and understand them so we know how they might affect us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The first of these is the area known as <strong>tight market<\/strong>, which refers to areas where there is a shortage of housing. These areas will be handled by the <strong>Autonomous Communities<\/strong> and the various local governments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the other hand, there is the concept known as <strong>large fork<\/strong>, which is the one that exceeds <strong>10 residential properties<\/strong>. This new concept also includes those who own properties larger than 1,500 square meters for residential use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This law is expected to take effect as soon as possible, before the May 28 elections. Now is the time to understand how this might affect us, starting from <strong>the law takes effect<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What other aspects does the new Housing Act address?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34600\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34600\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34600 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/nueva-Ley-de-la-vivienda.jpg\" alt=\"new housing law\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1335\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34600\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">new housing law<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Within this new <strong>Housing Act<\/strong> The regulation of rental prices is also mentioned. This will apply to areas considered to be under pressure, for both existing and new landlords, whether large or small. This plan for <strong>prevent inflation from rising<\/strong> The target for rents had been set at 2% for 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, under the new law, this cap <strong>will change to 3%<\/strong> in the coming year. In addition, the INE must establish by the end of 2024 a <strong>cost update <\/strong>of the various lease agreements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What impact will this law have?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some experts are already discussing the various ways this law might have an impact. In the short term, there could be a significant increase in <strong>lease costs<\/strong> in various parts of Spain. This is likely due to people seeking compensation before this new law is enacted in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the other hand, in the long term, the side effects would be related to the <strong>decline in rents<\/strong>. For property owners, it may be more profitable to sell their properties than to rent out the apartments they own. Sales may be on the rise, but the <strong>rental market<\/strong> decrease sharply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The first signs of these changes have already been seen in the prices of some rentals, according to <strong>Data from Fotocasa<\/strong>. In March, the increase reached a new record high that <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.europapress.es\/economia\/construccion-y-vivienda-00342\/noticia-precio-alquiler-sube-97-interanual-espana-primer-trimestre-fotocasa-20230417103206.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reached 9.7%<\/a> within the market. According to some experts, this trend may continue to grow in the coming months.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Are there any benefits for homeowners?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This new housing law also includes tax breaks and incentives for homeowners. These can be applied within the <strong>payment of income tax<\/strong> or within the <strong>Corporate Income Tax<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These benefits will take effect each time a <strong>new lease agreement<\/strong> with reduced rent. In addition, if the new tenant is between the ages of 18 and 35, they may also apply. <strong>Penalties<\/strong> will apply to those who have had vacant properties for more than two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>This information is required under the new Housing Act<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now that you know about the new <strong>Housing Act<\/strong> and the effects it can have, <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/en\/servicios\/real-estate-law-2\/\"><strong>Information is essential<\/strong><\/a>.
