oposição à renovação — notice not to renew a lease
A letter in which one party says it does not want to renew the contract for a further term. The landlord must send it 240 days in advance for a contract of six years or more, 120 days in advance for one of one to six years, and 60 days in advance for one of six months to a year; for the tenant the periods are 120, 90 and 60 days.
Where you come across it. The end of a lease term.
A landlord's first notice not to renew can only take effect three years after the contract was signed. So a "one-year contract" does not mean the tenant has to leave after a year: they have the right to stay for three years. The exception is when the landlord or their children need the home to live in themselves.
