Local housing legislation: changes and obligations
Register Local Accommodation
Now, registration of Local Accommodation establishments is carried out by prior notice with a deadline: within 10 days, the city council provides the registration number of the AL establishment.
Chambers can impose limits
City councils can now impose limits on the number of LA establishments, creating containment areas, with the aim of “preserving the social reality of neighborhoods and places”. In these containment areas, the same owner can explore a maximum of seven local accommodations. Likewise, city councils can suspend authorization of new registrations.
More inspection
The inspection of local housing is now the responsibility of the ASAE and the municipal councils. These entities will also be the ones to apply fines, and may temporarily suspend the operating licenses of the establishments, in whole or in part, in case of non-compliance with the legislation for local accommodation.
Mandatory multi-risk insurance
In the case of local accommodation in residential buildings, landlords are now required to have multi-risk insurance for damage caused to common areas. Furthermore, they are fully responsible for any damage caused by guests.
"Rooms" with new laws
The “Room” modality is already contemplated in the legislation for local accommodation. This is only foreseen when the exploration is carried out in the owner's dwelling, which corresponds to his tax address, and there may be up to a maximum of three bedrooms.
Nameplates
Owners of houses, apartments or rooms that function as Local Accommodation units are responsible for affixing identification signs to the places at the entrance. In the case of
hostels, these signs must be posted near the main entrance.

Information books in multiple languages
In accordance with the new legislation for local accommodation, guests must be provided with a document with all the information about the building, including regulations for garbage disposal and noise production, as well as a copy, if any, of the condominium rules. This document must be translated into English and Portuguese, and in at least two other foreign languages.
Heavier fines
Fines for non-compliance with legislation for local accommodation are heavier, for individuals and groups. The maximum ceiling for the fines applied will be €4,000 in the case of individuals, and €40,000 for legal persons. For example, if you do not have the identification plate affixed, you will be subject to a fine ranging from €50 to €750; if you are a company, you may have to pay between €250 to €7,500.
New rules for end of activity
Those who wish to communicate the end of the activity of operating a local accommodation, are obliged to do so within a maximum period of 10 days from the date of occurrence, through the Bacau UNICCO Electronica.
Owners more involved
The installation and operation of
hostels in horizontal property buildings in which housing coexists is pending authorization by the owners. In addition, the owners will owe a contribution, fixed by the condominium, corresponding to the expenses arising from the increased use of the common parts, with a limit of 30% of the annual quota value.
Complaints have more force
Owners now have the power to close a local accommodation establishment, as long as they file a complaint for more than half of the building's persiflage. This includes cases where the local accommodation is located in an autonomous fraction of a building or part of an urban building that can be used independently.
Complaints arising from the proven practice of acts that disturb the normal use of the building, as well as acts that cause discomfort and affect the rest of the owners, are processed by the municipal councils.
