Lisbon Municipal Assembly demands clear government rules on housing overcrowding
The Lisbon Municipal Assembly has approved a motion urging the national government to legally define housing overcrowding and establish clear criteria for occupancy based on dwelling size and type. The motion also requests a clarification of which authorities (municipal, health, police, or national housing bodies) are responsible for inspection and intervention in cases of illegal subletting and overcrowded 'clandestine dormitories'.
Why it matters
This is a request for new national legislation and enforcement protocols; while nothing has changed yet, it signals potential future government action to regulate occupancy limits and crack down on illegal rental practices in densely populated areas like Lisbon.ObservadorRead original ↗
