Andorran Union Warns of Rent Surge After Lease Cap Ends
Trade union cautions residents against misleading real estate claims that rental prices will stay capped post-extension, as contracts shift to free.
Key Points
- USdA warns real estate portals mislead on post-extension rent caps.
- Leases will enter free market after mandatory extensions, risking sharp increases.
- Government bill awaits parliament debate to enable this shift.
- Union calls for responsible handling of rental liberalization's household effects.
The Andorran Trade Union (USdA) has warned residents against misleading claims from certain real estate portals, which suggest rental prices will remain capped after the mandatory extension of leases ends.
The union highlighted that once the extension period concludes, contracts will shift to the free market, potentially leading to significant rent increases compared to historic levels. This change stems from a government-approved bill awaiting debate in the General Council, Andorra's parliament.
USdA described the portals' messaging as biased, arguing it wrongly implies ongoing price limits. Such developments could directly affect numerous households, the union noted, urging the public to seek accurate information.
In response, USdA called on parliamentary groups to address the issue transparently and responsibly. It emphasised the social consequences of gradually liberalising the rental market, stressing the need to weigh these impacts carefully.
