Tenants will deliver 30 measures to the government to mitigate housing crisis

The Lisbonian tenant association will present to the new government 30 measures to try to solve the housing problem, appealing to the government that opts to regulate, register and oversee the lease market, which imposes regulatory measures regarding prices that are charged in the market and who bets on programs to increase supply, namely capturing vacancies and vacant houses.

In the document to which the Sunrise It had access, the Association nods with priority measures such as regular and register the lease market such as other economic activities, such as local accommodation, creating the national lease registration platform that «It must mandatory for all agents, rendered and operators who operate and intervene in this market».

Another of the measures advanced by the tenants « Revoke the 2012 lease legislation and subsequent amendments, producing and approving two new regulatory regimes, one for housing lease and one for non -housing lease».

On the other hand, the Association argues that a minimum contractual period and its renewals must be fixed in the housing, because it understands that these changes can guarantee «Trust, stability and continuity to the parties to provide the tenants with a stable address and according to their needs and the landlords a certain and prolonged income of their property».

Advance with income insurance and one of multirrisks are other of the advanced proposals. A measure that had already been admitted in an interview with Sunrise by the Secretary General of the António Machado Association for understanding that «eliminates other abusive and excessive guarantees, such as cautions or bails »as well as creating a lease inspecting authority to ‘watch up’ this market.

The document that will be presented to the government also includes measures from the tax point of view that pass the creation of a program that grants advantages and benefits to those who put their home to rent, « With lasting, renewable contracts and with comportable incomes. » Already on the side of the tenants advocates the increase of tax deduction «In your percentage and at your limit» Understanding that it is also a way of encouraging lease.

Oversee and control capital

Another way to solve the housing problem, according to the Lisbonian tenants’ association, involves establishing a standard of lace control, « Whether by a limit to the leased area, or by conditioning the tax asset amount of the lease or by limiting them to the lease’s income, for benefit tax or penalties, or a mix of cumulative measures. ».

According to the entity should also be eliminated « Excessive protectionism, exemptions and unnecessary tax benefits, and in favor of property, real estate funds and foreign investors with the stained excuse of capturing investment. »just as it should be « Inspected the origin of the invested capital and revised the programs of the Gold Visas and non -usual residents because they are deeply discriminatory and unfair to other residents, and encourage real estate speculation and feed the shortage of offer. ».

RECOVERY OF THE OFFER

The document also draws attention to the need to « Still the sale of public housing, rehabilitating and making available the vague and vacant public assets, allocating the existing lease with a background with behaving lace. » and to provide housing and public land to cooperatives of users with long -term surface law contracts.

Tenants also say that it should be contractual with real estate promoters to make available at least 25% of leased to lease in comportable prices under the counterparts of new buildings on public land, as well as developing public housing to reach at least 5% in the medium term. In relation to the state budget they intend to allocate 1% to 2% of GDP for investment and conservation of public housing and ensure the execution of housing and lease support programs.
