Renting and Condominium Law

The pedagogical model presupposes the student’s approach to the constantly changing reality of companies and administration, with a
focus on the real estate sector. It presupposes preparation for active life through up-to-date and rigorous scientific contact with academia
and the teacher responsible for the curricular unit.
This reality is transposed into classrooms through the presentation of theoretical content and through practical exercises based on real
controversial issues.
In addition, the political-legislative contours existing in the country’s national panorama influence the legislative change suffered in terms of
urban leasing and condominium rights and such contours are taken into consideration in teaching and learning.
Critical knowledge, autonomous study and, if possible, in groups are encouraged, through critical analysis by the student of the main
theoretical-practical issues presented. Scientific research itself is encouraged, indicating the legal, doctrinal and jurisprudential sources
relevant to this aim and fostering the student’s creative and innovative spirit.

conferences within the scope of this curricular unit, the student perceives other points of view and develops the knowledge required in
teaching. top.

In areas of constant change, after successive legislative changes, with greater emphasis since 2006, in real estate law, through theoretical
