July’s rental-reform bill focused on new contracts
Added 18 Oct 2026
On 9 July, Portugal’s Cabinet approved a rental-reform bill addressing deposits, advance rent and limits between contracts. Its announcement distinguished new contracts from existing ones, whose applicable regime would stay unchanged. This archive records the proposal at that stage, not a confirmation of today’s rules for a particular tenancy.
If you’re here: Before signing or changing a tenancy, check the enacted law and your contract with a qualified adviser.
