Campinas transport and commute

Current 2026 common-user Bilhete Único references are R$6.00 normal, R$0.50 second integration and R$4.15 Circular Centro. Vale-Transporte at R$6.50 is a separate employer product, not the common passenger fare.

Test the actual bus corridor, integration eligibility, walking distance and university peak congestion.

Deposit, contract and subletting rules

Lei 8.245 uses one guarantee method, cash caução max three months and statutory savings-account treatment. Pension or boarding arrangements can require different classification; do not assume every R$500 room is a standard residential lease.

Write guarantee, deposit, refund, operator authority, utilities and minimum stay separately.

Utilities, furnishing and minimum stay

Verify electricity, water, Internet, condominium, furnishing, kitchen/laundry access, cleaning, occupancy and whether the room is pension, private room or self-contained suite.
