Housing complaints soar: condominiums lead complaints and fraud references almost double

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 18:05

Complaints related to the housing sector increased by 44.49% in 2026, with the Portal da Queixa recording 682 cases by August. This number is already approaching the 739 complaints recorded throughout 2025, indicating a growing trend of consumer dissatisfaction.

Condominiums lead the complaints ranking in the housing sector, being the main source of complaints. This prominent position reflects the persistent difficulties faced by residents and property owners in the management and administration of these spaces.

The article also alerts to the significant growth in references to fraud in the housing sector, which almost doubled in the period under analysis. This increase suggests a greater prevalence of fraudulent practices related to housing, whether in the purchase, sale, rental, or management of properties.

Maternity Pay: Federal Revenue Blocks Fraud Attempt and R$ 1 Billion Loss to Social Security

Brazil's Federal Revenue Service thwarted a scheme estimated at R$ 1 billion targeting public funds through fraud in the maternity pay benefit. Shell companies and suspicious organizations filed improper reimbursement claims alleging payments to insured individuals who do not have children. The reimbursement in question refers to cases where the company advances maternity pay to employees covered by the General Social Security System, with the right to subsequent compensation. The investigations revealed companies with only one employee, near-zero revenue, absence of compatible tax records, and requests for atypical amounts, constituting an organized pattern of improper appropriation of public funds.
