Tenant-rights advice for Débora in Rio de Janeiro: a short consultation
Looking for housing-law advice in Rio de Janeiro: a withheld security deposit.
🇧🇷 Brazil916 views
My landlord in Rio de Janeiro has given me a withheld security deposit. I've read what I can online, but the rules are confusing and different sources contradict each other.
I'm hoping that someone with experience in housing or tenant rights in Rio de Janeiro could spare 20-30 minutes to explain the process, the deadlines and the documents I should collect.
I have my lease, all communications and photos organized. I'm happy to share them privately. I can't pay for a lawyer, so any guidance on free services in Rio de Janeiro would also be appreciated.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Débora. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Medellín.
Praying for you, Débora. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Kharkiv donated after I showed her your page.
hang in there. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
You're not alone, Débora. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
