Venezuela passes rental law to aid earthquake‑displaced families

Venezuela’s National Assembly unanimously approved a special rental law of 27 articles on 31 July. The legislation lets landlords and tenants freely set rent amounts and payment methods, caps security deposits at three months, bans rentals in zones declared high‑risk, and introduces mediation to resolve disputes. It aims to revive the rental market after the 24 June double earthquake (magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5) that killed more than 5,500 people, left about 18,000 homeless, collapsed 856 buildings and damaged 190 structures. The government has started building 1,875 homes and pledged to deliver 4,000 homes by the end of the year. The law will be sent to interim president Delcy Rodríguez for promulgation.
