Nancy,

Thanks for another well-researched article. I hope you're right about the possible increase in long-term furnished rentals. We had real problems finding apartments to rent in Porto and Lisbon/Cascais. Your points about the tax inequity are spot on. It should be no surprise that the short-term rentals increased when they were effectively incentivized by the lower tax rate. Anticipating the unintended consequences is something that legislators around the world seem unable to do well.

Excellent post. Love getting into the nitty gritty details of this. Also, I love your digressions, in this case DeSantis. Clearly you have not stopped following the news in the country you left behind because of the big right turn it took in 2016. You made a good decision then.
