Eviction Services in Portugal

This service is for property owners who need to get people out of their property. Common reasons are unpaid rent, people living there without permission, or tenants breaking the rental agreement in other ways. Removing someone from a property this way is called an eviction. It has to follow strict local rules, and mistakes can cause delays or even make the owner liable.

How it usually works

• First review: your situation is looked at and your options are explained.
• Formal notice: an official letter is sent to the tenant asking them to pay overdue rent and bills.
• Trying to agree: an attempt is made to settle things with the tenant or squatter without going to court.
• Starting the case: if talks fail, the papers are filed to begin the eviction.
• Court: if the tenant fights the case, you are represented at the hearings.
• Getting the property back: help making sure the eviction order is carried out.
• Money owed: where possible, help recovering unpaid rent, damage and legal costs.

All legal deadlines are followed throughout, to avoid needless delays or challenges. Working with English-speaking lawyers can make the process easier to follow.
