At 30 months or more the landlord can take the property back at the end without a reason (art. 46); a shorter lease rolls on and can only be ended on the grounds of art. 47.

How large can the deposit be?

Three months’ rent at most (art. 38, § 2º). The form checks it: with a rent of R$ 2.500 it accepts a deposit up to R$ 7.500 and refuses anything above, saying what the maximum is.

Can I ask for a deposit and a guarantor?

No — the law allows one guarantee per lease, so the form offers one choice: a deposit, a guarantor (fiador), rent guarantee insurance or none. With a guarantor the contract is signed in three copies and the guarantor signs too.

Does it need witnesses?

Yes: the contract ends with signature lines for both parties and for two witnesses, each with name and CPF, and says it is signed in their presence. Print it and sign every copy.

Example

A 30-month lease in São Paulo at R$ 2.500 a month, with a 3-month deposit

A landlord lets a flat to a tenant from 1 February 2027. Typed: term 30 months, rent 2500, due on the 5th, IPCA index, IPTU paid by the tenant, guarantee “Deposit” of 7500, court São Paulo. The table shows what each choice becomes in the Portuguese clauses.

A deposit of 8000 is refused: “A caução não pode passar de três meses de aluguel … no máximo R$ 7.500,00.” A 12-month lease from 15 January 2027 would run to 14 January 2028 and say instead that it rolls on.
