CASA 47: what the new state public housing portal offers and how it works

Euronews Portugal7 September 2026 at 21:30

The Spanish Government launched the first portal of the state public housing stock, called CASA 47. This portal aims to centralize and facilitate access to public housing in the country, representing one of the executive's measures to address the housing crisis.

The portal's rental system is indexed to tenants' income, meaning the amount to be paid varies according to the financial capacity of each household. This approach aims to ensure that public housing is accessible to families with different income levels.

The initial contracts offered through the portal have a duration of 14 years, providing greater contractual stability to tenants. This extended duration represents an additional guarantee for those accessing state public housing.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez defended public intervention in the housing sector as a way to expand supply and guarantee access to housing. This initiative is part of a broader strategy by the Spanish executive to reinforce the State's role in housing policy.

Change in flights at Campo de Marte, in SP, puts real estate market on collision course with concessionaire

Changes in the operating rules of Campo de Marte Airport, in São Paulo, are causing significant impact on the real estate market of the capital and neighboring cities. Starting September 15, flights at the airport will be operated by instruments, which required the expansion of the height restriction area for constructions from 2.5 km to 20 km around the terminal. Since April, any building within this radius that exceeds 45 meters in height requires authorization from the Department of Airspace Control (Decea), of the Brazilian Air Force, creating obstacles for new developments and generating conflicts between the real estate sector and the airport concessionaire.

Does the landlord want to sell the house? Find out what changes for you and what your rights are

When a landlord intends to sell a rented property, the tenant may have a right of first refusal, meaning the possibility of buying the house under the same conditions offered to another buyer. This right is provided for in Article 1091 of the Civil Code and applies to tenants with contracts older than two years, who have 30 days to decide after being notified by the owner. The interested party must accept all conditions exactly as presented to the potential buyer, including the price, with no room for renegotiation. This mechanism was expanded by Law No. 64/2018, which reduced the minimum contract period from three to two years. The article also clarifies that the right of first refusal can be legal or conventional and does not guarantee the purchase, only priority.
