Utilities in Arraial do Cabo

The Praia Grande offer includes water, condominium, gas, IPTU, fire tax and fire insurance. Electricity and internet are not named in that list. Ask whose account remains active, how usage is handled, and who is responsible for maintenance or charges outside the rent.¹

Figueira's feature list says water and electricity are included, but its description puts electricity among tenant costs. Its IPTU amounts also conflict. Get one corrected written allocation and current bill before accepting a total or transferring an account.²

Enel's March 26, 2025 procedure lists Rio de Janeiro WhatsApp +55 21 99601-9608, option 7, or a service store. It accepts named official photo identities, including passport and the foreigner document described as RNE. Ask which identity and CPF details it needs for your case and installation.³

The new holder must not have overdue Enel debts under the holder's CPF or CNPJ. If the property has outstanding or upcoming bills, Enel asks for proof of possession or ownership. Its published account change is free, with targets of three business days in urban areas or five in rural areas after documents are received. Those are process targets, not a guarantee of immediate power at the home.³

If you leave the property, arrange the account exit and final bills rather than assuming the next occupant completes them. Photograph the meter readings and condition of the connection at handover. Keep the actual provider response with your records.³

Prolagos lists 0800 7020 195 for telephone service around the clock. It lists the same number for WhatsApp from Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Its Arraial office is Rua Rui Barbosa 48, Praia dos Anjos, with appointment arrangements on the contact page.⁴

Ask about the actual account number, current holder, meter, tenant documents, any account-change charge and the proposed handover. Where water remains included in rent, confirm how the owner handles bills and interruptions. This contact page does not establish every home's connection, pressure, storage condition or drinking-water quality.^1,4

Inspect taps, visible leaks, drainage, storage and working electrical fittings with the owner. Ask about previous interruptions and repairs. Run the air conditioning and appliances that remain, then agree who maintains each item. A service account alone does not establish the home's condition.^1,5

Pontal's internet contract requires technical feasibility at the exact address and sets account-sharing and equipment-return terms. Confirm those before accepting a landlord connection. Read remote work, rent and cost of living before completing the handover.⁶
