oposição — objection to an eviction claim
The tenant's response to a notice from the BAS: a written objection to eviction. The deadline is 15 days from receiving the notice; it is filed electronically and only through a lawyer. When filing the objection you pay a court fee and, in arrears cases, a deposit as well — the full rent owed, up to a maximum of six months' rent.
Where you come across it. A notice from the BAS about the special eviction procedure.
If the fee or the deposit is not paid, the objection is treated as not filed, and the case goes ahead as if the tenant had said nothing. Free legal aid exempts you from both payments, but you have to apply for it before filing the objection.
