The city council has announced the&nbsp;<strong>revocation of the suspension of new licences<\/strong>&nbsp;for short-term rentals, a measure that had been in place as part of an attempt to contain the housing crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This decision, which overturns previously implemented restrictions, is based on one key finding: the ban on new tourist accommodation.&nbsp;<strong>has not achieved the objective of lowering house prices<\/strong>&nbsp;in the city. Lisbon's mayor, Carlos Moedas, has argued that restrictive policies have not solved the structural problem of the housing shortage and, instead, may have affected a vital economic sector for the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city council's new approach will focus on promoting the&nbsp;<strong>increase in housing supply<\/strong>&nbsp;through construction and rehabilitation, rather than focusing on the restriction of a single activity. The revocation of the suspension of licences is seen as a step towards a more balanced policy, which seeks coexistence between residential and tourist use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, repeal does not mean total deregulation. The management of the&nbsp;<strong>Flexible Accommodation<\/strong>&nbsp;will continue to be subject to a regulatory framework that seeks to guarantee quality and coexistence. The city council plans to work on a new regulation that will allow a more dynamic management adapted to the needs of each neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This change of strategy in Lisbon is a relevant case study for other European cities facing similar challenges. It demonstrates that solutions to the housing crisis are complex and multi-factorial, and that the restriction of the&nbsp;<strong>Flexible Accommodation<\/strong>, alone may not be a panacea. The Lisbon experience suggests that an approach combining the promotion of new housing with smart and flexible regulation of tourism may be a more effective way to achieve a sustainable balance.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant regulatory shift, Lisbon has decided to revoke the suspension of new licences for Flexible Short-Term Accommodation.
