Frequently asked questions

If I fall behind on the rent, what does it cost me on top?

The landlord may demand, in addition to the overdue rent, an indemnity equal to 20% of what is owed — unless the contract is terminated for the non-payment (Código Civil art. 1041.º, n.º 1, as of 2019).

I found a defect in something I bought — how long do I have to act?

You must report the defect within 30 days of discovering it (and within 6 months of delivery); after that the action lapses 6 months after the report (Código Civil art. 916.º, n.º 2 and art. 917.º, as of 1967).

What happens if I don't observe the notice period on my tenancy?

The termination still takes effect, but you owe the rent for the missing notice period — except in cases of involuntary unemployment, permanent incapacity for work, or death (Código Civil art. 1098.º, n.º 6, as of 2019).

Can my employer set an unusually long probation period?

For management or senior-cadre positions the probationary period can run up to 240 days (Código do Trabalho art. 112.º, n.º 1, al. c), as of 2019).

Besides my leave, am I entitled to a holiday subsidy?

Yes — on top of the pay for the leave period you are entitled to a holiday subsidy of one month's remuneration (subsídio de férias) (Código do Trabalho art. 264.º, n.º 2, as of 2009).

Can I revoke a power of attorney even though I waived the right to revoke it?

Yes — a power of attorney is freely revocable by the principal, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary or waiver of the right to revoke (Código Civil art. 265.º, n.º 2, as of 1967).

Why DUOLEXX instead of just asking an AI?
