There are no limitations for asylum seekers or refugees to rent a house or apartment in Brazil. Rent must be made through a rent agreement, in which all rights and duties of owners and tenants need to be included.

There are various real estates agencies that operate through the country. Nevertheless, a contract done directly with the owner is usually less expensive.

Note that rent agreements frequently determine one of those warranty forms:

• Indication of a Guarantor: someone that commits to pay the rent in case you do not fulfill the payment;
• Lease insurance: you can hire an insurance company as your guarantor;
• Security deposit: it consists in offering the lessor an amount of money to be kept as a guarantee until the termination of the contract.
