Renting an apartment long term in Sao Paulo is often very tricky. Long term SP rentals are often for a minimum of 3 years meaning they are only suitable for those looking to live here permanently. Also for long term flat rentals you need to have a guarantor or pay for an insurance policy. This costs a lot, is very bureaucratic, and in most cases is impossible to organise.
Also, in general long term flats in Sao Paulo and Brazil don’t come with furniture. You have to supply this yourself!
Therefore, the majority of people need to rent furnished flats short term, even if they are intending to only stay for 12-18 months.
The short term rental market moves very quick. Being the business hub of the largest economy in South America, demand for apartments in Sao Paulo is massive. On average, a good quality Sao Paulo apartment is only available for one day between tenants. Therefore in order for you to rent what you want, you need to be able to move very quickly. Money needs to be made available immediately upon acceptance. As you will note from our FAQs, unlike other countries, a property is only accepted at the point money has been paid and contracts signed.
Landlords and owners of flats in Sao Paulo in the main part only deal with agents as they want someone else to deal with the client finding and administration. Very seldom will a landlord negotiate on the price. He doesn’t need to. He knows rental demand is strong enough for him to be able to pick his tenant.
The trick is, to identify what you want and be ready to move ahead immediately. Take a look at our page here for a check list of what is required by you.
