PS approaches meeting with Prime Minister open to dialogue and demands end to moderate rents of 2,300 euros

Ahead of a meeting with the Prime Minister on Thursday, 5 November 2026, the Socialist Party announced five housing proposals for the 2027 State Budget discussions. These include scrapping the 2,300-euro 'moderate rent' tax benefit, removing unlimited rents and security deposits, introducing a moratorium on tenancy contract expirations until 31 December 2027, transferring IHRU property to local councils for renovation using a bank-state fund, and exempting capital gains up to 300,000 euros for secondary homes sold for permanent housing in high-pressure urban areas.
