A. INTRODUCTION<\/b><\/p>\n

Private tenancy law is existentially affecting the daily lives of European citizens, as about one third of them depend on rental housing. That notwithstanding, it constitutes a nearly blank space in comparative and European law. This is due to its national character, its political nature and its embeddedness in widely diverging national housing policies, which ultimately reflect different welfare state models. At the same time, however, different parts of EU law and policy do affect tenancy law significantly, albeit indirectly. Thus, EU social policy against poverty and social exclusion extends to selected issues of housing policy. EU non-discrimination rules extend to the provision of housing, and several consumer law directives apply to tenancy contracts, too.<\/p>\n

The \u201cTenancy Law and Housing Policy in a Multi-level Europe\u201d (TENLAW) research Project provided the first large-scale comparative and European law survey of tenancy law. The Project work lasted from April 2012 until October 2015 and was coordinated by the Centre of European Law and Politics (ZERP) at the University of Bremen, Germany. All in all, 27 research institutions from all over Europe were involved and the results of this project were presented at a concluding conference in Budapest in September 2015.<\/p>\n

The next conference in September 2016 will take a second look at the research results of the TENLAW project one year later with a focus on so called \u201calternative housing tenures\u201d in Europe. Besides the \u201cclassical\u201d tenancy contract between private individuals, many countries have established other forms of housing tenures which are classified in between classic market rental tenancies and home-ownership and are significantly relevant for European citizens, e.g. \u201csocially-mediated\u201d leases through institutions such as social housing agencies, cooperative housing, property leasing, right to housing in rem or ex contractu, building lease, family based housing or right-to-buy models. These can be compared to the more \u201cclassic\u201d intermediate tenures, such as right of use, usufruct, right to build, emphytheusis, etc.<\/p>\n

Alternative housing tenures have not been in the focus of comparative legal research so far. The aim of this conference is to give new impulses for housing research and policy by bringing together well-established experts from all over Europe. Additionally, in four workshops recent interesting developments in housing policy, such as the refugee crisis, energy efficiency modernization of buildings, the role of real estate agents and the dichotomy between deregulation of tenancy law, short term accomodation and tenant protection will be dealt with.<\/p>\n

C)\u00a0ABOUT THE HOUSING CHAIR AND THE UNIVERSITY ROVIRA I VIRGILI<\/b><\/p>\n

The Housing Chair of the University Rovira i Virgili (Spain)\u00a0is the single Housing Research Centre in Spain with an international and interdisciplinary approach. It is a division of the Public University Rovira i Virgili, which ranks 4th<\/sup>\u00a0among all Spanish Universities and 83 in the world among universities under 50 years (Times Higher Education).<\/p>\n

The creation of the Chair was announced at the\u00a0European Network for Housing Research<\/i>\u00a025th International Conference in June 2013, although some of its researchers have been dealing with housing research for the last 20 years. Five PhD candidates and seven senior researchers are currently working at the Chair, which main objectives are specialized research, teaching and transfer of knowledge in the field of housing.<\/p>\n

Since December 2013, the Chair members have published 60 research works in 6 countries and have delivered 121 speeches in 20 more. The Chair has been also invited to draft four pieces of legislation for the Spanish and the Catalan governments, while has been a team member of 3 EU-funded projects (EU Parliament and EU Commission). In addition to this, the Chair is currently working at six national-funded research projects and has successfully finished other four. The Housing Chair has the explicit support of 10 private and public partners. I runs two postgraduate courses on mediation and on real estate agents.<\/p>\n

Researchers of the Chair are constantly present in the media to disseminate the results of their research topics, which cover many fields of housing, such as housing access, housing tenures, housing as a fundamental right, management of social housing, real estate agents and tenancies.<\/p>\n

Researchers and stakeholders can follow the Chair activities at its webpage (http:\/\/housing.urv.cat\/en\/cover\/<\/a>) and through its Newsletter (http:\/\/housing.urv.cat\/en\/cover\/research\/newsletter\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n
