What's being handled
The Housing Decree - the same as that that that VAT Tourist flats at 21%- includes, as advanced by the Government, extension extraordinary up to two years to be requested by regular housing tenants their contracts come to 30 June 2028. It would also bring with it the regulation of rental season and by room, required written contracts and IRPF bonuses for That puts his rent down. It was scheduled to be adopted at the end of July and deferred September for lack of parliamentary support.
The precedent: 37 valid days
No es la primera vez. El Real Decreto-Ley 8/2026, aprobado en marzo de 2026 por vía de urgencia, ya imponía una prórroga de dos años con subidas limitadas al 2%. El Congreso votó en contra de su convalidación y quedó derogado 37 días después de entrar en vigor (derogación publicada en el BOE el 30 de abril de 2026). La lección es doble: nothing's been approved till it's convalid, and at the same time the Government has shown that it will do so as necessary. Loan habitual housing will coexist with this uncertainty for a long season.
What it means to you if you are a long term home
- Less control about your schedule: If your contract expires at 2027, with an extension your tenant could stay as far as 2029 - his decision, but his decision.
- Frozen de facto income: las prórrogas extraordinarias suelen venir con límites de actualización (el intento anterior las capaba al 2%).
- Selling or recovering housing complicates as long as the extension's activated.

The real Home Options
- Wait for the final text. Legitima - but if your contract expires before July of 2028, the watch runs against you.
- Sell. Retiring the assets and their future income with an inside tenant and an active extension and more difficult.
- Seasonal or tourist rental on your own where the regulations allow - although the same decree wants to regulate the season and increase the tourist VAT, so it's leap from one regulation to another.
- Loan to a company with a fixed income. A lease to a company for tourist or half-stay operation is not the habitual housing of the tenant: it's governed by what you agree to in the contract. With Bliss son 1 renewable year and a monthly fixed income - you get the same as full or empty housing, with no guests or management, and the rules don't change them by the BOE midway.
