Associação do Alojamento Local em Portugal
An association of people who let homes by the night (Alojamento Local). It is not a state body: it issues no licences and makes no rules, but it speaks for owners when restrictions on AL are discussed, such as municipal regulations, taxes and European proposals. In the news, it usually represents the position of those who let.
Where you come across it. News about restrictions on short-term letting, discussion of municipal regulations.
ALEP's opinion is the industry's opinion, not an explanation of the law. What is and is not allowed at your address is set out in the municipality's regulations.
