In Brazil, lease continuation is a common practice, particularly in urban areas like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro where rental markets are active. Landlords and tenants typically negotiate renewal terms 30-90 days before expiration. In Portuguese, the term 'prorrogação' is frequently used in legal contexts, while 'renovação' is more colloquial. The US and Brazil both have established legal frameworks governing lease continuations, with specific notice periods required by law.
