The article addresses the conflict between local accommodation and personality rights, questioning where property freedom ends and the right to tranquility of permanent residents begins. The central theme relates to the tension between the possibility of earning income from properties and the impact that this activity can have on the quality of life of those who live there all year round.
Miguel Fortunato, a lawyer at the firm Manuel Rebanda & Associados, poses the central question of the debate: where does the freedom to financially exploit a property end and where does the right to tranquility, rest and health of neighbors begin. This question reflects the growing litigiousness in this legal area.
The article suggests that there is a legitimate conflict between two fundamental rights, without presenting a clear resolution. The question remains open, evidencing the complexity of balancing the economic interests of owners with the well-being of permanent residents in the areas affected by local accommodation.
