Vera Martinez, CCA ONTIER's Associate of the Real Estate Department, in statements to Dinheiro Vivo comments on the lease law currently in force that, despite few defenses to the tenant regarding the increase in rent or duration of the contract, stipulates, nevertheless, deadlines and rules that landlords must comply with. Its non-compliance is one of the few situations that give the tenant some leeway to challenge what is proposed to him.
With regard to the renewal of the contract, either by the landlord or the tenant, there may be opposition by both parties. However, Vera Martinez stresses that 'notice of the landlord must be made at least 60 days in advance if the contract lasts for up to one year; of 120 days if the initial duration is between one and six years; and 240 days (eight months) if the term is equal to or greater than six years'. It adds that 'the landlord can not denounce the contracts before their expiry, but may oppose their renewal'.
