PROPOSTA DE LEI M.m 91/11 ACTIVIDADES SAS AGÊNCIAS IMOBILIÁRIAS DC ARRENDAMENTO Exposição de moüvos Á crise de habitação que se vive actualmente no nosso país tem gerado a proliferação de agências imobiliárias de arrendamento que, muitas vezes, funcionam como simples meios de extorsão de pessoas que, por sofrerem carências dramáticas de alojamento, são iludidas com falsas promessas que esses agentes não têm qualquer intenção de concretizar. Desse facto tem-se feito veículo a imprensa, relatando situações escandalosas que urge reprimir eficazmente. Com a presente proposta de lei pretende-se disciplinar essas actividades através da determinação precisa da forma como podem ser remuneradas — após a efectiva ocupação do imóvel — e da configuração como ilícito penal da remuneração em quaisquer outras circunstâncias.
