Sumar Policy proposes that owners cannot reject any tenant for having pets

Among the proposals included in the bases of Yolanda Díaz's political project, the possibility of avoiding the prohibition of having pet pets in housing rental contracts located in urban areas is raised. With a tagline: "Guaranteeing in any case the state of conservation of the property."

Technically it is not yet a measure of Sumar's electoral program, the brand with which the Vice President of the Government will present herself to the general elections at the end of the year, but it is one of the lines that will inspire her preparation.

For this approach to be effective, a modification of the Urban Leasing Law would have to be carried out. With its current wording, it leaves the owners freedom to choose whether or not to accept pets in the house they are going to rent.

What Díaz's team proposes is that, in exchange, landlords can demand in these cases the contracting of home insurance and civil liability in case of damage. The document does not explicitly include it, but it is inferred that it would have to be the tenant who would bear the costs of the same.

Among the measures proposed is also limiting the purchase of houses if it is not to reside in them in areas where the real estate market is "excessively stressed" or there is no space for the construction of new properties. The goal of protecting tenants from "rapid rent increases."

In practice, these restrictions could be applied in all large cities and would affect approximately six out of 10 Spanish households according to the Housing Law approved on Thursday in the Congress of Deputies. The justification that appears in the chapter dedicated to this matter is that it is already being done "in some parts of the European Union", without specifying with what result.
