The new parliamentary majority can solve the housing problem.

In Portugal, housing prices are becoming too high due to a lack of supply in the market. Certain measures in the area of construction and rental licensing have been proposed to address the housing crisis.

One of the main issues has been the long wait for construction permits.

This leads to difficulties for investors. It is proposed to replace the licensing principle with principles of responsibility and control.

Thus, developers and specialists should be held accountable for complying with laws, regulations, and project documentation, while government agencies should focus on monitoring their compliance rather than on issuing permits.

In the field of leasing, it is proposed to establish the principle of freedom of contracts.

This allows tenants and landlords to freely determine the terms of the contract without government interference. It is also proposed to ensure the safety of property owners by setting deadlines for responding to lease violations.

To expedite the eviction process, more effective mechanisms of justice should be implemented.

The introduction of a mandatory deposit for tenants could reduce the potential for abuse of the judicial system and ensure greater housing accessibility.

Overall, more actions are needed in the area of housing licensing and rental to stimulate supply in the market and lower prices. The new government will need to make decisions and take actions to improve the situation in the real estate market.
