Sindicato de Inquilinos de Madrid

The Sindicato de Inquilinos de Madrid (Madrid Tenant Union) is an organization that advocates for the rights and interests of renters in Madrid. They are currently newsworthy due to their involvement in mobilizing social pressure to garner support for a recent housing decree. This decree, pushed by Sumar and approved by the PSOE in the Council of Ministers, includes provisions such as a two-year extension of rental contracts expiring before December 31, 2027, and a 2% annual limit on rent increases. The Sindicato de Inquilinos is working with Sumar to organize post-Semana Santa (Holy Week) actions to influence the upcoming vote on the decree. Their efforts highlight the ongoing debate and political maneuvering surrounding housing policy and tenant protections in Spain, making them a significant voice in the discussion.
