The Problem

Finding a rental in Portugal is a nightmare. The market is characterized by:

  1. Pervasive scams: Fake listings on Idealista and Facebook from people in "another European country" who ask for deposits before viewings. Entire Reddit threads dedicated to warning people.
  2. Unregistered contracts: Many landlords don't register leases with Finanças, which blocks tenant access to AIMA (immigration) services and leaves them legally exposed.
  3. Zero trust infrastructure: No way to verify that a listing is real, the landlord owns the property, or the property matches its description.
  4. Extreme supply shortage: 150,000 homes needed according to developers. This desperation makes tenants accept bad conditions and skip due diligence.
  5. Opacity on both sides: Landlords can't verify tenant quality; tenants can't verify landlord legitimacy. The mutual distrust is toxic.

Idealista dominates the market but has no verification layer. Anyone can post anything. The result is a market where the most vulnerable — immigrants, expats, students — get scammed regularly.
