PACMA's housing proposals in Spain

PACMA includes housing in its social and rights agenda with proposals focused on affordable rent, protection against evictions and living with animals. Its key measures include expanding the public housing stock, regulating tourist rentals and banning clauses that exclude pets from rental contracts.

The animal rights party PACMA has added housing to its programme with an approach that combines social rights, sustainability and animal protection. It is not just about bricks and mortar: it touches rental contracts, the housing decree and homeless shelters.

## Affordable rent and curbing speculation

The party champions affordable rent as the core of its proposal. It calls for expanding the public housing stock and curbing real estate speculation. These are measures that affect the pocket of anyone paying a monthly rent.

Access to decent housing is framed as a right, not a commodity. PACMA places it within its social agenda, alongside the protection of vulnerable groups.

## Evictions and tourist rentals

PACMA demands greater protection for families with few resources. It seeks to prevent evictions when no housing alternative exists. In other words, no one should end up on the street with nowhere to go.

Regulating tourist rental properties is part of the same package. The pressure of tourist flats on the residential market is a proven fact in many Spanish cities.

## Pets in rental contracts

One of the most concrete proposals concerns companion animals. PACMA is calling for the new housing decree to ban clauses excluding pets from rental contracts.

The party wants to guarantee the right to live with animals. That includes emergency accommodation and shelters for homeless people. Living with animals is treated as part of the right to housing, not as an extra.

## Energy renovation and costs

PACMA promotes the energy renovation of buildings. It backs sustainable materials and integrating renewable energy into construction. The stated goal is to reduce costs and improve livability.

It is a measure that hits the pocket: a poorly insulated home shows up in the electricity bill. Energy efficiency stops being a technical luxury and becomes household economics.
