If the landlord sells the rented house, the tenant has a right of first refusal.

The alert is given by Deco Proteste, which is quoted by Notícias ao Minuto, explaining that if a tenant has been renting a house for more than two years, and the landlord wants to sell it, the tenant has preference in the purchase.

So, if this is your situation and your landlord has informed you of the intention to sell the house where you live, know that, as a tenant, you can exercise your right of preference.

To do this, you must inform the landlord that you want to buy the property where you are living. Deco reinforces the importance of making a written complaint by registered mail or email, as it "serves as evidence and can be decisive in resolving your conflict".

In this communication, it is essential to identify "the sender, the recipient, and the date", as well as clarify "clearly the facts".

Finally, in order to play in your favor, you must also keep "copies of the shipment" to safeguard your rights.
