A declared stressed rental market
Terrassa has been declared a zona de mercado residencial tensionado by its comunidad autónoma, which is the trigger for the rent limits in the Housing Act: a new lease on a home that was let in the previous five years is generally held to the previous rent as updated, and a large holder is additionally held to the reference index. The declaration is made regionally and listed by the ministry, it runs for a fixed term and it can be extended, so check it is still current before relying on it. The declaring norm is named in the sources below.
