Royal Decree-Law 28/2026 adopts urgent measures to provide greater stability and predictability to residential lease agreements. The regulation aims to mitigate tension between supply and demand, preventing contract expiration from being used as a mechanism to pass on price increases. The text is based on the need to offer a stable temporal framework in the face of a market reality characterized by high turnover and high transaction costs.
For tenants, the regulation aims to reduce uncertainty and costs associated with turnover (moving, deposits, changes in environment) by attempting to guarantee greater stability in their homes. For landlords, particularly legal entities, the regulatory framework is designed to limit the ability to set new rents outside of contractual evolution following expiry. The rental market is moving towards a model of greater stability, similar to other European legal systems, reducing vacancy periods.
