When discussing rent in Portuguese, the most common and versatile word you'll encounter is aluguel. It's a masculine noun, so you'll typically see it with articles like o aluguel (the rent) or um aluguel (a rent).
While aluguel is widely understood across Brazil, it's worth noting that in Portugal, you might more frequently hear arrendamento for property rent. However, aluguel is still perfectly comprehensible.
