New Regulations for Local Accommodation in Lisbon

In a recent decision, the Lisbon City Council has approved new regulations governing Local Accommodation (AL), coinciding with the assembly's earlier move to conduct a referendum on limiting AL activities in residential buildings.

The council emphasizes that these changes are a significant step towards achieving a better balance between urban functions and uses. The new rules aim to establish clearer and stricter guidelines for the licensing of new accommodation establishments across the city.

Key changes include:

  • Lower ratios between local accommodation activities and housing.
  • A cap of 5% on AL in Lisbon, down from the current 7.2%.
  • T2 or larger residences may now offer accommodation in a ‘room’ modality.

The council believes these measures will enhance the quality of life for residents while addressing the growing concerns about the impact of short-term rentals on housing availability.
