The rules created for local accommodation – such as out-of-hours noise, dirt, access by strangers to garages and residential buildings – were not enough to stop residents' complaints.

Thus, about 30 judges of the Supreme Court of Justice decided to end local accommodation in permanent housing buildings. However, a declaration of vote was presented in the Supreme Court that warns of the existence of a high number of processes with risks in the economy.

Decision allows any joint owner to, from now on, demand the end of local accommodation in the building where he lives, regardless of whether that accommodation has been operating for years.

For Eduardo Miranda, president of the Local Accommodation Association, it is essential to find a balance between permanent housing, local accommodation and tourism, so that “a problem for the national economy” is not created.

According to the association, 41% of tourism depends on this type of accommodation.
