In order to register new local accommodations (AL) in buildings intended for housing, it will be necessary to have a favourable decision from the condominium, according to a proposal for amendment made by the PS party and reported by Público and Jornal de Negócios.

The measure comes after a ruling by the Supreme Court of Justice determined that the activity of local accommodation is not allowed in buildings intended for housing. Now, “whenever the establishment of local accommodation is registered in an autonomous fraction of a building under a horizontal property regime that is intended, in the constitutive title, for housing, the registration must be preceded by a decision by the condominium for use other than the exercise of the activity of local accommodation”, according to the PS proposal.
