Pedro Brinkman Cardoso is the author the insight “Serviced Housing in Portugal: Legal innovation as a tool to alleviate housing shortage”, published by WhatNext.Law.
In this insight, Pedro Brinkman Cardoso proposes the introduction of a ‘serviced housing’ model in Portugal, i.e. the creation of a housing contract that includes the property and the contracting of associated services. "Serviced Housing is defined as the provision of a dwelling (furnished or unfurnished) along with an inseparable set of services for a minimum period of one month", explains the VdA lawyer.
The insight clarifies the advantages associated with this housing model, which, according to the author, can contribute to the country's housing shortage, particularly in the Lisbon and Porto regions. For Pedro Brinkman Cardoso, the creation of a legal serviced housing contract could also attract investments, facilitate labour mobility and offer a more flexible solution for those looking for temporary housing.
