# Renting in Sao Paulo

## The basics

**Types of contracts**

Private rentals from owners

Rentals from agents

Short-term rentals (rare & less than 30 months)

**Can you negotiate rent?**

With private owners you can often negotiate rent, whereas it can be difficult to do that with agencies.

**Deposits**

Typically, renters have to pay 2/3 months of rent as a deposit. By law, it is required to be put in a different account than the landlords. They can ask for a co-signer; although; usually, they can only ask for one of a deposit/co-signer.

**Utilities**

Renters have to typically pay utilities as well as fees for condo costs.
