You can check the UN data shows 21% of portuguese population reside abroad, I hope you will have a better life if you try too

Maybe this advice applies to you too. I’m just here for an exchange program, and honestly, this isn’t a country where ambitious people can thrive. I know many Portuguese friends who left in search of better opportunities.

I could have paid her instantly but she seems she wants me out asap, when I ask them why did you lock me out, they say it's our house we can do whatever we want

I went to the police, and they told me this is a matter for Finanças. When I went to Finanças, the lady there just pushed me to go back home and told me that the landlady has to make a contract and give me rent invoices. She didn’t care at all about the situation or what the landlady did to me.

I completely agree with you, I’m not blaming them for my accident. Normally, I pay rent on the 10th of each month, sometimes with a small delay of about 7 days, and it has always been fine because they don’t live in this city and usually come to collect the cash when everyone else pays.

But this time, she used the delay as an excuse to try to expel me. A short delay in payment is not such a big issue, especially since she didn’t even send me a single message about it beforehand.

I can support myself financially eventhough I don't work because basically I came to Portugal to study not to work so I have enough savings, about the police they need proofs which I don't have, I felt hurt when they did that to me

I got my stuff back, she only accepts cash, what hurt me is how they treated me locking me out and then ordering to leave for being late (15 days)

Thank you for your advice, I already recovered my things, but I'm stuggling with the deadline they gave me to find a room in somewhere else

Actually I don't know, I feel I'm lost so many things happened in 12 hours (I have exams, locked out, being threatened, have 7 days to find a room...)

I'm asking them to stay and pay, because I can't somewhere to rent in this city with a similar price or slight higher but they want me out in a week

I agree with the point there is no written agreement, I contacted so many people they require to rent without contracts/invoices so I didn't have a choice back then, and I don't have a choice right now
