He also identified regulation of seasonal rentals and tourist-use accommodation as parts of the package. - Extension of rental contracts due to expire this year. - Regulation of seasonal lets. - Regulation of tourist-use rentals. - Measures intended to prevent evictions for households unable to pay rent. He said Junts and the PNV want to add tax incentives benefiting property owners, while the lack of a parliamentary majority means the parties must negotiate.
