Financial Strain on Renters in Lisbon

More than 70% of renters in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML) are spending over 35% of their income on housing costs, placing them in a state of financial overload. In many cases, this burden is deemed high, as housing expenses consume more than half of their available income.

This combination of high costs and poor living conditions puts immense pressure on the majority of tenants in the region.
