The ALEP - Association of Local Accommodation in Portugal states that the European Commission fails in its proposal to clarify local accommodation regulation, considering it insufficient to solve the sector's problems.
The association points out that insufficient supply is the structural cause of the housing crisis, arguing that this is the root of the problem and not local accommodation itself.
According to ALEP, restricting local accommodation does not solve the housing shortage, arguing that this measure does not address the fundamental cause of the housing crisis.
The data cited by the association indicates that rents in Lisbon increased 103% in ten years, illustrating the magnitude of the housing problem in the Portuguese capital.
