ValenciaPolice fired rubber bullets at protesters outside a property summit.
Spain’s parliament rejected two tenant-protection decrees on Friday, 178-172 and 184-166.
Rents have almost doubled in 10 years, Idealista says, and Sánchez’s minority government lacked the votes after Junts joined the opposition.
Sánchez has not announced an election, but El Diario reports 29 November, and tenants threaten a general strike.
