Housing. Government wants evictions in two days and more flexible rental market
The Portuguese government is presenting a reform of the urban rental regime to Parliament on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. The proposal aims to increase market flexibility, specifically including a provision to accelerate the eviction process to two days.
