Escaldes-Engordany to Send Rental Contracts to Government This Week After Delay

Escaldes-Engordany will send the government details from several rental contracts this week, after failing to deliver them last Friday due to time constraints.

Cònsol Major Rosa Gili announced the plan on Sunday, noting that the parish council has "a few contracts" ready to forward in the coming days. The information relates to long-requested housing data needed to enforce regulations and monitor rent hikes. Gili emphasised the parish's ongoing willingness to collaborate across administrations, particularly on housing and other matters.

She confirmed speaking directly with Head of Government Xavier Espot, with whom she agreed to work jointly. Gili described dialogue as the most effective approach, stating it is "more constructive, both for the tasks at hand and for relations between institutions."

Espot acknowledged the forthcoming transmission and said the government had even offered staff assistance, given the parish's claims of limited personnel—a challenge not unique to Escaldes-Engordany. He added that the executive would assign someone on special commission if required to gather the data.

Regarding the government's earlier threat of court action, Espot clarified that such steps begin with an extrajudicial demand. With the data now due, he expressed hope of resolving the issue amicably, avoiding judicial proceedings and sparing everyone headaches.
