I am not a lawyer, and for a matter like this one, I highly suggest you speak with a Portuguese Lawyer.

It looks like there is a way to change the registration of an Alojamento Local from one person to another. You would do that on the ePortugal website.

Since you have a landlord, he or she will have to provide you with documentation that you are allowed to use the property for Alojamento Local.

This is overly simplified and just a starting point. Besides speaking with a Portuguese lawyer, I would recommend that you speak with the AT about taxation, so that you know you are adhering to the letter of the law.
