The Government revealed this Thursday that it will not "tear up" the More Housing programme of the previous Executive, but rather "improve" some measures. 

"What we will do is improve what needs to be improved and keep what is to be kept. We will not tear it up", said the Minister of Infrastructure and Housing, Miguel Pinto Luz, during the CNN Portugal Summit, which takes place within the scope of SIL (Lisbon Real Estate Fair).

Miguel Pinto Luz also said that the Executive intends to "make the RRP work" and announced an intervention in the "coercive leasing" decreed by the previous Government.

The Government had already confirmed that it will revoke the measures of the More Housing programme that it considers "wrong", including forced leasing, rent freezes and "penalising measures" for local accommodation.

The Programme of the XXIV Constitutional Government assumes the "determination" to revoke some decisions of the previous socialist executive, translated into Law no. 56/2023, approved on 6 October of last year.

Regarding local accommodation, the Government Programme indicates that the extraordinary contribution on this activity and the expiration of licenses prior to the More Housing programme will be revoked "immediately".

The Executive also adds that it will review "other legal limitations" on local accommodation "considered disproportionate", without mentioning what it will do in relation to the suspension of the registration of new local accommodations outside low-density territories.

The previous socialist executive approved the forced leasing of houses abandoned for more than two years, a measure that the PSD/CDS-PP Government will revoke, contrasting it with the "almost automatic injection into the market of vacant or underused public properties and land".
