Brazilian rental market guarantee trends
Overview
The Brazilian rental market is experiencing a structural shift in how risk is managed, moving away from traditional methods toward paid and digital solutions.
Under Brazil’s Tenancy Law (Lei nº 8.245/1991), landlords are permitted to request specific types of guarantees, such as security deposits, personal guarantees, rental insurance, or the fiduciary assignment of investment fund quotas. The law strictly prohibits requiring more than one type of guarantee in a single contract and limits cash security deposits to a maximum of three months' rent.
Recent market data indicates a significant transition in how these legal options are utilized. The use of traditional guarantors has declined from 60% in 2017 to 25% in 2026. Conversely, paid guarantees like rental insurance have grown from 4% in 2017 to 37% of contracts. This trend is driven by the integration of technology and data analysis, which allows digital providers to qualify candidates rapidly. This professionalization of risk management occurs amidst high levels of consumer insolvency in the country.
