Comunidad de Madrid
Madrid's non-foral regional government; passed Ley 2/2026 to boost housing supply, not lease law.
Madrid's non-foral regional government, which passed Ley 2/2026 on 11 June 2026, gazetted 28 July, to boost housing supply through denser building rules, since it lacks the civil-law competence Navarra used to rewrite room-rental law directly.

Why can't Comunidad de Madrid change tenancy law like foral Navarra just did?

Nomads & Communities: Navarra writes the rule Madrid could notBackground
The Comunidad de Madrid is one of Spain's eleven ordinary autonomous communities, meaning it has no civil-law competence and cannot legislate lease types itself; only the Cortes Generales can change tenancy terms in Madrid, unlike the six foral communities that kept pre-1978 civil law.
It passed Ley 2/2026 on 11 June 2026, gazetted in the BOE on 28 July, choosing a supply-side answer to the same rental pressure driving Navarra's room-rental reform: looser density and parking rules on tertiary-use land rather than any change to lease terms it has no competence to make.
Most of the law's measures sunset after two or three years, marking Madrid's intervention as a temporary supply-side lever rather than a permanent rewrite of the capital's rental market.
Madrid tackles housing from supply side
Comunidad de Madrid has no civil-law competence, so only the Cortes Generales can change tenancy terms there; unlike Navarra's foral Parliament, it cannot legislate room-rental categories at all.
Its answer to the same rental pressure came from the supply side instead: on 11 June it passed Ley 2/2026, opening protected rental housing to greater density and easier parking rules on tertiary-use land, with the changes set to sunset after two or three years.
