Eviction Services

This service is available across Portugal

Who Can Benefit from this Service?

Landlords in Portugal who are dealing with tenants violating lease agreements, such as failure to pay rent, misuse of the property, or other breaches of contract, can benefit from specialised eviction services.
This eviction service is also crucial for property owners facing the challenge of removing squatters or tenants not observing rules of hygiene, quiet, and good neighbourhood relations.

Prerequisites

A written lease agreement.
Proof of payment of Stamp Duty on the lease.
Landlords and tenants must adhere to the procedural steps as outlined by Portuguese law, which includes issuing a formal eviction notice and, if necessary, proceeding through the Balcão Nacional do Arrendamento (BNA) for a special eviction procedure.

Procedure: Our Approach

Initiating Eviction: The process starts with the landlord filing a formal eviction request, which can be done electronically through the BNA (Balcão Nacional do Arrendamento) or by using a lawyer or solicitor for submission through the CITIUS system.
Tenant's Response: The tenant has 15 days to oppose the eviction notice, vacate the property, or settle any outstanding rent. If the tenant opposes, they must appoint a legal representative.
Legal Proceedings: If opposition is filed, a court hearing will be scheduled. Absence of opposition or a court ruling in favour of the landlord leads to an eviction order.
Legal Pathways: Choose between judicial eviction action or the special eviction procedure through the Balcão Nacional do Arrendamento.
Filing and Representation: File the necessary petitions and provide legal representation, whether in court or through administrative procedures.
Court Proceedings: If necessary, guide through the court hearing process, aiming for a favourable outcome.
Compliance with Legal Timelines: Ensure adherence to all legal deadlines and procedures to avoid unnecessary delays or legal challenges.
