Key Facts
—The supply squeeze. Rental listings in Rio’s South Zone fell 27.5 percent in two years, according to the property federation Secovi-RJ.
—The rent effect. Rents across the zone rose about 17 percent over the same period, and roughly 50 percent in Copacabana.
—The retreat. An earlier draft would have banned short lets along the beachfront. That ban has been dropped, as has the licence requirement.
