Brussels proposed new rules to curb rent increases, as part of the so-called Affordable Housing Act. The proposal aims to combat the rising housing costs in the European capital.
The law will allow limiting local accommodation in areas under real estate pressure. This measure comes as a response to the housing access problems that several European cities have faced.
The new rules also include measures to increase the supply of available housing. The goal is to create more housing options for residents.
These proposals emerge in a context of growing concern about housing affordability in major European cities, where prices have been rising significantly.
