Evictions are in line with pre-pandemic figures (with Regina Santos Pereira)

"After being suspended in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic, the number of eviction requests entered this year is approaching those of 2019. The covid law that protects situations of special vulnerability is apparently still in force and there are suspended foreclosures. Non-renewals, meanwhile, are on the rise, tenants say."

"It should also be noted that once declared by a court or by the BNA, the eviction has to be carried out - if the tenant does not leave of their own free will there are procedures to be carried out by the enforcement agent, which include asking the judge for permission to enter the house or requesting the presence of the police. As Regina Santos Pereira, a lawyer specialist in renting, explains, «none of this is automatic, and can take many months»".
