Within the scope of the Mais Habitação, and in an amendment proposal made by the Socialist Party (PS), the new local lodgings that are inserted in housing buildings may only be registered with a previous authorization of the condominium, something that will allow a greater control over the new registrations created. In accordance with the party's proposal, "whenever the accommodation establishment is registered in an autonomous fraction of a building under horizontal property regime that is intended, in the constitutive title, to be a dwelling, the registration must be preceded by a decision of the condominium for a use other than the exercise of the local accommodation activity".
Thus, in accordance with this amendment, whoever intends to operate local lodging must first request the condominium's authorization to change the building's constitutive title. Only after that will the rendering of local accommodation services be allowed, but only in the registrations made after the entry into force of the More Housing Programme.
The aim of this measure is to respond to the decision defined by the Supreme Court of Justice, which determined the prohibition of this activity in buildings that are intended for housing, being up to the condominium assemblies to determine the approval of new licenses.
According to the Government's proposals, it is also intended to suspend the issuing of new local accommodation licences, excluding rural areas from this rule. As for those that have already been granted, they will be subject to mandatory renewal every five years.
