With an increasing amount of interest in foreign property ownership in Brazil, we are finding that there still remains questions and a lack of clear understanding as to the correct procedures with regards to the lettings business in the country.  Please see a recorded interview and presentation we recently did with Luis Vasconcelos, a Brazilian lawyer based in London with over 10 years experience (he has also worked in property management in the country).  You can also access a full English translation of the Law 8245 (as recently modified by Law 12112) –  the most relevant piece of legislation with regards to both the rights of Brazilians property owners as well as tenants (note you will have to be a free member of the site to access which can be done quickly and easily here).
