«In practical terms, it will not be enough for the investor to "check for mortgages, liens, easements, [active] lease agreements or other encumbrances", exemplifies Regina Santos Pereira, a specialist in leasing and real estate at SRS Legal. "Even when there are no longer any lease agreements in force, you will have to check if there have been any in the last five years and what rent was charged by the previous owner", since "with the expected publication of the Mais Habitação package, you will be obliged to respect the 2% limit on the rent practiced in the last five years, even if by another owner", she summarizes.»
