September means back to work and October means legislation. A new wave of laws will be put in place that will have a real impact on citizens and businesses alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the measures that make up the law on housing, the government has highlighted Programa Nacional de Habita\u00e7\u00e3o e da Carta Municipal de Habita\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong>as well as the prote\u00e7\u00e3o no despejo e a integra\u00e7\u00e3o do direito \u00e0 habita\u00e7\u00e3o nas pol\u00edticas de erradica\u00e7\u00e3o de pessoas em condi\u00e7\u00e3o de sem-abrigo<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The government has also amended the law to allow banks to foreclose on real estate for non-payment (under certain conditions). <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Being a homeowner without having to buy seems impossible, well now it is possible in Portugal. The socialist government of Ant\u00f3nio Costa has finally approved Direito Real de Habita\u00e7\u00e3o Duradoura (DHD)<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The purpose of the DHD is to offer the tenant the possibility of obtaining a permanent form of housing for life. For this the tenant should proceed to the payment of an initial deposit and then the payment of a monthly rent. We could compare this form of acquisition to the French viager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As of October 1, 2019, the Municipal Property Tax (MPT) amendment that ends the confidentiality of land adjoining your property. This means that lawyers, bailiffs and notaries, will once again be able to view the matrices of their clients' adjoining parcels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Still on IMI, the government is studying the proposal to revise the location coefficients, the government should normally validate this revision at the end of October with an implementation in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNew taxes on investment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
