In Spain, the new laws on tenancy entered into force

Since December 24, 2009 in Spain, entered into force new rules and laws of tenancy, which protect the rights of tenants and help homeowners. They basically simplify the procedures related to the rental of property, "without prejudice to the rights of employers," according to the Ministry of Housing. The Ministry considered that "the situation in which the country has a lot of empty houses, while much of the population in need of housing, is unacceptable." The new rule amends Law on urban real estate leases (Urban Leases Act) and the Law on Civil Procedure (Civil Procedure Act) in order to stimulate the development of the rental market. The Law on urban real estate lease new rule expands the conditions under which the certificate is issued on the mandatory renewal of the lease. Changes in the Law on Civil Procedure allow homeowners to quickly and easily regain the housing if the employer refuses to pay for it, although it is, in turn, violates the rights of tenants.
