Rent law. Which is the best to combat the current housing crisis?

The housing crisis in Portugal is intensifying, leading to a clash between the current socialist law and a new proposal by PSD and Chega. The government argues that the existing law restricts landlords' freedom, hindering the availability of rental properties. Under the current law, rent increases are capped at 2% when a property is re-rented, which the government views as a limitation. The new proposal suggests allowing landlords to request three months' rent in advance and removing the cap on security deposits. These changes aim to address the ongoing housing challenges.
