Lisbon rents more than doubled in ten years and increase reaches 103%

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 16:54

Housing rents in Lisbon increased 103% over a decade, meaning they more than doubled. This growth reflects the sharp escalation of rental prices in the Portuguese capital during this period.

Despite the real estate market showing signs of stabilization in the last two years, new rental contracts continue to present very high values. This situation persists even with the apparent slowdown of the market.

The article does not specify which social groups are most affected by this increase nor does it indicate government measures taken to address this issue. The information focuses mainly on the price evolution and the current situation of the rental market in Lisbon.
