Rent extension is required by 13 companies.
The Spanish government is making changes to rental contracts. Companies must automatically extend leases for tenants. This affects many renters across Spain.
The Spanish Ministry of Consumer Affairs sent a letter to many real estate companies. These companies manage over 100,000 rental properties. The new rule applies to leases ending between March 2026 and December 2027. Over 2.5 million renters could benefit from this change. There is concern that some political parties might try to stop this law.
