The bill includes measures to lower housing costs and also contains provisions aimed at curbing large-scale home purchases by institutional investors. Its specific provisions focus on housing supply and regulation of institutional buying.

The president did not indicate an intention to sign it, but if the veto is not exercised, the bill will automatically take effect after a certain period. With this announcement, legal effect arises separately from the signing procedure.

The bill’s passage and the president’s declaration leave open the possibility of direct regulatory changes for sectors such as listed real estate companies and single-family-home rental REITs.
