As guarantor you are liable, on top of the rent, for a statutory late-payment indemnity of 20% of the amount owed, unless the contract is terminated for non-payment — Código Civil art. 1041.º, n.º 1, as of 2019.
The landlord must notify you as guarantor of the tenant's default and the sums owed within 90 days — Código Civil art. 1041.º, n.º 5, as of 2019.
Absent a documented initial state, the property is presumed handed over in a good state of conservation, so the guarantor can be liable for damage — Código Civil art. 1043.º, n.º 2, as of 1967.
The urban tenancy must be concluded in writing, and the guarantee declaration (fiança) follows the same form — Código Civil art. 1069.º, as of 2006.
A tenancy for permanent housing runs for at least 1 year, the minimum period the guarantee may cover — Código Civil art. 1095.º, n.º 2, as of 2019.
The tenancy must be reported to the tax authority within 30 days (Modelo 2) — Código do Imposto do Selo (CIS) art. 60.º, as of 2015.

Not one language per country — both sides read the same binding version

Template shops give you a Portuguese-only or English-only version. DUOLEXX generates both in a single document, grounded in Portugal tenancy law — guarantor understands exactly what they sign and it stays enforceable in Portugal.

Governing Language Version

This document consists of two language versions. In the event of any discrepancy or question of interpretation, the version in the governing legal language (Português) shall prevail; the English version is a translation provided for convenience.

Frequently asked questions

What am I liable for as guarantor of a Portuguese tenancy?

The guarantor answers for the tenant's rent debts and, on default, for a statutory indemnity of 20% of the amount owed, unless the contract is terminated for non-payment — Código Civil art. 1041.º, n.º 1 (as of 2019).

Must the landlord tell me if the tenant stops paying?

Yes — where a guarantee exists, the landlord must notify the guarantor of the default and the sums owed within 90 days — Código Civil art. 1041.º, n.º 5 (as of 2019).

Does the guarantee have to be in writing?

Yes — the urban tenancy must be in writing and the fiança declaration takes the same form — Código Civil art. 1069.º (as of 2006).

Can I be liable for damage to the property?

If the initial state is not documented, the law presumes the property was handed over in a good state of conservation, so restoration costs can fall on the guarantor — Código Civil art. 1043.º, n.º 2 (as of 1967).

How long does the guarantee last at minimum?

A tenancy for permanent housing has a minimum term of 1 year, which sets the minimum span the guarantee may run — Código Civil art. 1095.º, n.º 2 (as of 2019).
