Livre says it was 'evident that Chega would support' the Government on the rental law revision

The government's bill to amend the urban rental regime was approved in general terms on Wednesday, following an agreement between the PSD and Chega to introduce future changes during the specialty phase. Proposed adjustments include limiting advanced payments and security deposits, protecting elderly tenants with pre-1990 contracts, reinforcing the housing emergency fund, and distinguishing between abuse/incapacity in eviction processes. The initial government text, still subject to these specialty amendments, proposes reducing the threshold for initiating eviction proceedings to two months of unpaid rent.
