In recent weeks, the regulation on housing in Catalunya has been modified by Law 1\/2022, of March 3, amending Law 18\/2007, Law 24\/2015 and Law 4\/2016 to deal with the emergency in the field of housing<\/u>. The introduction of this new regulation has entailed relevant changes in our regulation<\/strong>, of which we highlight the following:<\/p>\n

1) The big holders:<\/p>\n

The concept of large holder is extended<\/strong> to legal entities and groups of companies that are owners of more than 10 homes in the whole of the territory.<\/p>\n

A Register of large holders is created<\/strong>, where large housing holders must be registered within a period of 1 month from the entry into force of the Law. The lack of registration is typified as a serious infraction.<\/p>\n

2) Failure to comply with the social function of housing<\/u>:<\/p>\n

The causes of non-compliance with the social function of housing are extended<\/strong>, among which it stands out, keeping the house empty without just cause for 2 years (without occupation without legitimate title altering this situation of non-compliance).<\/p>\n

It is expected that the Administration may require the property to resolve possible situations of non-compliance with the social function. If this is not met, the Administration may exercise forced execution measures, which could include up to the forced expropriation of the home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3) The TC annuls the regulation of the rental price in Catalunya<\/u><\/p>\n

Likewise, the regulation on housing will be affected by the recent ruling of the Constitutional Court of March 10, 2022<\/strong> (pending BOE publication), which annuls several articles of the Catalan Law 11\/2020, of September 18, of urgent measures in terms of rent containment in housing lease contracts.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned sentence will annul part of Law 11\/2020<\/strong>, of September 18, on urgent measures regarding the containment of rents in housing lease contracts and of modification of Law 18\/2007, of Law 24\/2015 and of Law 4\/2016, relating to the protection of the right to housing. So that the new rental contracts in Catalunya will not be affected by the regulation of the rental price<\/strong>. However, the sentence will not have retroactive effects, and therefore will not affect consolidated legal situations. The current contracts signed under Law 11\/2020 will remain in force in their terms.<\/p>\n

In short, the entry into force of the new Law 1\/2022, of March 3, and the nullity of part of Law 11\/2020, of September 18, will mean a new change in the regulation of housing in Catalunya, which will directly affect the new legal relationships.<\/p>\n
