What changed
Decree-law 1/2024 responds urgently to the housing crisis in the Canary Islands: it fast-tracks social housing construction, limits short-term tourist rentals in high-demand areas, strengthens tenant protections against eviction, and introduces emergency housing measures for vulnerable people.
Who is affected
Affects owners who let properties for short-term tourist use in high-demand zones, tenants needing stronger eviction protection, and people at risk of residential exclusion who may qualify for emergency housing measures.
What to look out for
→ Owners renting seasonally in high-demand zones must urgently check whether their activity complies with the new limits; tenants at risk of eviction should enquire about the protection mechanisms activated by this decree-law.
