Housing
2,443 people request housing in Sintra
The Sintra municipal council currently has 2,443 pending housing requests and is accelerating eviction proceedings for properties occupied illicitly, such as through rent arrears or unauthorized subletting. The council has carried out 31 evictions so far, following 17 in 2025, and has authorized a tender for the construction of 180 controlled-cost housing units in Agualva.
Why it matters
While this reports on a specific municipal enforcement action, it highlights the severe shortage of social housing in Sintra and the council's shift toward stricter recovery of its property portfolio, which may affect availability for those on waiting lists.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
