Portuguese Leases Can Be Tricky for Newcomers

Rental contracts in Portugal often contain clauses that are unfamiliar — or even unfair — to international tenants. Language barriers make it worse. Without local knowledge, you might agree to terms that don't protect you, or miss red flags that could cost you thousands of euros.

Our review gives you clarity and confidence before you sign anything.

Duration & Renewal

Maintenance & Repairs

Who's responsible for what, how repairs should be requested, timelines for landlord response, and any unfair maintenance obligations.

Your Rights & Protections

Privacy rights, entry notification requirements, what the landlord can and cannot do, and how well the contract protects you as a tenant.

Red Flags & Risks

Unusual clauses, potentially illegal terms, one-sided provisions, and anything that could put you at a disadvantage or legal risk.

What You'll Need

Just one thing — your lease agreement. That's it.

Submit Your Rental Contract

Provide a copy of the lease you've been asked to sign. The more complete the document, the more thorough our review can be.

The lease must be in Portuguese or English. If it's in another language, include a translation.
Upload as PDF, Word, or image files — make sure all pages are legible.
Include any annexes or addendums that come with the main contract.
Important: This is a document review service, not legal representation. We provide expert analysis and recommendations, but for complex legal disputes, we recommend consulting a licensed attorney.

Common Questions

Our review covers every significant aspect of your rental contract: financial terms and payment obligations, deposit conditions, duration and renewal clauses, termination rights, maintenance responsibilities, and tenant protections. You'll receive a detailed report highlighting concerns, explaining your rights, and providing negotiation recommendations.
Ideally, before you sign. Once you've received a draft contract from your potential landlord, submit it for review. This gives you time to understand the terms and negotiate changes if needed. Already signed? We can still review your lease to help you understand your current obligations and rights.
Standard reviews are delivered within 5 business days. If you're working with a tight deadline, contact us to discuss expedited options — we understand that rental decisions often happen quickly.
No problem at all. Our team works fluently in Portuguese. We'll review the original document and provide our report in English so you can fully understand every term and condition.
Our review includes specific negotiation recommendations with suggested alternative language for problematic clauses. While we don't negotiate directly on your behalf, we give you the knowledge and tools to have informed conversations with your landlord.
