Spain just passed new housing laws. This comes after millions of people went on strike to protest how hard it is to find a place to live.
People in Spain are very upset about housing costs. Some people said they are paying as much as $500 for a tiny room that is only five square meters. That is barely enough space to stand in.
This was the biggest strike in the country in 14 years. The pressure from the public forced the government to take action.
Lawmakers have now approved several new measures to help. However, some experts say these rules might not last. It all depends on what happens during the next election. If the government changes, these housing laws could be changed or taken away.
For now, the government hopes this will calm down the public and help people afford homes.
