The move-in window is still flexible, although the aim is to agree a longer lease rather than fill the house for a short stay. This is a four-bedroom detached home in São Paulo, around 195 m², offered at R$4,240 a month.

Deposit terms, the treatment of utilities and any charges included in the rent need to be settled with the lease. Questions about the property’s condition, transport access and likely running costs are welcome. If interested, please say when you would want to move and how long a tenancy you are seeking.
 
Is the house furnished, partly furnished or empty? I’d also want to know the pet terms and the earliest possible move-in date before discussing a viewing.
 
The missing neighborhood is important. R$4,240 and 195 m² may sound attractive, but transport and total running costs vary considerably across São Paulo. Which area is it in, and are water, electricity and other utilities billed directly to the tenant?
 
I agree the location needs clarifying, although the lease structure matters just as much for a long-term tenant. Is there a minimum lease length, and what deposit would be requested? It would also help to explain how condition issues are recorded at move-in and whom the tenant contacts when maintenance is needed.
 
Also, does “included charges depend on the final lease terms” mean they are negotiable, or simply not yet listed? A breakdown of rent, recurring property charges and tenant-paid utilities would make the monthly commitment much clearer.
 
I wouldn’t get too far into deposit negotiations until the neighborhood, availability and furnishing have been answered. Those could determine whether the house works at all. The owner asked for a proposed move date, but prospective tenants first need to know which dates are actually available.
 
One more useful distinction: routine upkeep and repairs caused by damage are not the same thing as faults with the property itself. The lease should state how each is handled, while allowing for whatever rules apply locally. A general maintenance contact and expected communication process would also reassure a long-term tenant.
 
Without a confirmed area and availability window, prospective tenants cannot tell whether a viewing is worthwhile. The owner could first add those two points, then give the furnishing and pet terms, preferred lease length, deposit requirement and a clear split between rent, included charges and tenant-billed utilities. That would also address the maintenance point above: the lease can distinguish ordinary upkeep, tenant-caused damage and faults for which the owner remains responsible.
