The new agreement for subsidized rents on city homes was presented this morning at the Cagliari City Hall. Among other things, it sets the flat-rate tax at 10 percent , aiming to promote residential use and combat the phenomenon of short-term or tourist rentals.
Now, the Sunia CGIL union, one of the signatories of the agreement, is pushing back and calling on local institutions throughout the metropolitan area to extend the reduction to all municipalities. "The goal," it states in a statement, "is to incentivize residential, rather than tourist, use in a context where it's increasingly difficult for young people, families, and workers to find housing."
The CGIL Cagliari union is focusing its attention on the issue of housing, which affects all generations: "It's important to discuss reduced rates, but also urban redevelopment and social housing," said general secretary Simona Fanzecco , emphasizing that "we have a large real estate portfolio that can be redeveloped and returned to the citizens with an environmental sustainability and inclusion project. The process with the administration must move in this direction."
The union also appreciates "the commitment made by the mayor of Cagliari and the relevant councilors to initiate measures to reduce the property tax (IMU) and promote rent support, especially for the elderly."
