Context & Explainers
An alojamento ilegal (illegal accommodation) refers to lodging or housing that operates without the required licences, safety approvals or registration—this can mean unlicensed short‑term rentals, overcrowded units or informal lodgings. For expats, using or renting such places risks eviction or fines for owners, reduced consumer protections and potential health or safety issues, and authorities may inspect and close premises suspected of operating illegally.
