English translation:open market sale - or 'for sale'
Explanation:
Some apartments in Spain are built with government subsidized bank loans on the condition that they are then sold to people on modest incomes. This are often termed 'VPO' - although there are many variations.
Other apartments are financed without government subsidies and sold on the open market. These are often termed 'renta libre' or similar.
The term is not related to 'rent' in English.

may be sold or rented without restrictions


Explanation:
As someone else said, the VPO housing is under certain government control, this makes it clear that the property in question is not under any such restrictions.
