Portugal Considers Ending Rental Contracts
The Portuguese government wants to make it easier to evict tenants who owe rent. A new law is being considered. This could change how rental contracts work.
The government believes this change is needed because rental prices are increasing. There is a shortage of available housing in Portugal. The new law would allow landlords to end contracts after one year. This would affect both tenants and property owners. The Assembly of the Republic must still approve the law.
