Spain to Tighten Rental Rules

Spain to Tighten Rental Rules

Spain's government is making new rules to control rent prices.

They want to stop rents from getting too high, especially in places where many people want to live.

The prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, said they will give landlords a tax break if they don't raise rents when renewing leases.

They will also limit how much people can charge for renting out rooms and make it harder for people to use short-term rentals instead of long-term ones.

Spain has a big problem with not enough homes for people, and this is making rents very expensive.

They are also building a lot of new affordable homes in Madrid to help with the shortage.
