Practical programmes teaching Portuguese landlords and small property investors the knowledge to handle tenancies competently — from lease agreements and deposit rules to the Portal das Finanças and non-payment procedures. Step by step, in plain language.
Each workshop module addresses a specific challenge landlords face when self-managing. Nothing is theoretical — every session produces a document, a checklist, or a procedure you can apply immediately.
A structured approach to evaluating prospective tenants — what documents to request, how to read income evidence, and what Portuguese law permits you to ask. Reduce uncertainty before the tenancy begins.
Learn moreConstruct lease contracts that comply with current Portuguese rental law — the Lei do Arrendamento Urbano — covering mandatory clauses, duration options, renewal conditions, and rent update procedures.
Learn moreUnderstand the rules governing security deposits under Portuguese law — how much you can hold, how it must be documented, and the precise conditions under which deductions are legally permissible.
Learn moreNavigate your rent receipt obligations through the Portal das Finanças — how to issue electronic rent receipts, register your lease, and maintain compliant records that satisfy both tenant and tax authority requirements.
Learn moreClarify where landlord responsibility ends and tenant responsibility begins — using the Código Civil framework. Avoid disputes by communicating maintenance obligations clearly from the start of each tenancy.
Learn moreFollow the legal process for addressing rent arrears step by step — formal notices, the Balcão Nacional do Arrendamento, and the procedimento especial de despejo — without needing a lawyer at every stage.

Most property owners who manage without an agency do so by instinct — reacting to problems rather than preventing them. Our workshops change that dynamic by building a clear mental framework of how Portuguese rental law actually works in practice.
We do not manage properties. We do not provide legal advice for specific disputes. What we do is teach — precisely, practically, and without jargon — so that you leave with the understanding to handle the routine situations that arise in any tenancy.
Workshops are delivered in Porto in small groups, allowing time for genuine questions. Every session includes reference materials you keep.
Why This Approach WorksThese are the practical capabilities participants develop through the programme — not aspirations, but skills built through structured learning and applied exercises.
Draft contracts that include all mandatory clauses under current Portuguese rental law, without relying on generic templates that may not reflect recent legislative changes.
Navigate the electronic receipt system confidently — understanding what is required, when it is required, and how to maintain records that satisfy both tenants and tax authority obligations.
Use a consistent screening method that stays within what Portuguese law permits, reducing subjectivity and improving the quality of tenancy decisions.
Know the sequence of steps — formal notice, BNA referral, despejo procedure — and understand what each stage requires without needing legal representation for every communication.
Understand the Código Civil framework well enough to explain to tenants — at the start of the tenancy — what falls to each party, reducing the ambiguity that leads to disputes.
Receive, document, and return security deposits in a way that is defensible — understanding the legal conditions for deductions and the importance of property condition records.
