Spain has once again extended its eviction freeze, keeping protections in place for people in vulnerable situations as part of its ongoing \u201csocial shield.\u201d The measure aims to prevent households from being evicted without alternative housing, continuing policies first introduced during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extension mainly protects vulnerable tenants and occupants, such as families with children or those facing financial hardship, for a limited period while social services assess each case. Knowing who qualifies, how long the protection lasts, and what steps to take next is key for anyone affected by the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
