	20d. Calls for measures supporting housing cost neutrality as a principle determining that the overall cost for tenants stays the same, including after renovations, especially if those renovations are carried out using public funds, and also to improve tenants’ protection from ‘renovictions’, which can occur when a property owner sends an eviction notice, citing the need for major renovations;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 25 a (new)

Motion for a resolution	Amendment
	25a. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to severely sanction any anti-competitive practice taken by relevant stakeholders, which are found to be driving up the prices of construction materials; believes that, in order to keep prices for housing construction materials for publicly-funded projects under control, strict public oversight, as well as strong conditionalities under public procurement procedures, must be applied, including maximum allowable construction costs per square metre and ceilings on net rents, which indirectly put pressure on cost discipline throughout the development process and create a natural barrier against inflated pricing, thus preventing artificial, profit-driven, upward manipulation of pricing for housing construction materials;
