The latest official statistics from the “INE” (Instituto Nacional de Estatísticas) may prove to be flawed since their records only take into account 1,831 official “AL” offerings. In contrast, the National Registry of Local Lodging (RNAL) tallies almost 50,000 enrolled “AL” establishments. Beyond these “aboveboard” businesses, there are still thousands of “underground” units in operation.

The Government is studying a new requirement for Local Lodging that would mandate higher condominium levies for owners who engage in holiday lets. If adopted, it would collide with another bill where the condominiums would be given the power to authorise, on a case-by-case basis, the possibility of owners renting short-term to tourists. The latter proposal was made in absentia and without the governmental consent.

Between May and July of this year, there were 8650 new official Local Lodging registrations  (“AL”), representing twice the amount over the same period of 2016. The phenomenon is explained not by a large-scale entry of offerings into the holiday letting market, but rather by the legalisation of existing units.
