How do you rent in Lisbon without a Portuguese guarantor?

My partner and I are considering a move to Lisbon. We work remotely for a US company. Every listing asks for a fiador. What do people do if they do not have one?

Most foreigners without a guarantor pay several months of rent in advance, commonly four to six, sometimes twelve. Some landlords accept a bank guarantee or rental insurance instead. Personal networks help a lot. Also consider neighbourhoods across the river or on the metro lines further out. Make sure the lease is registered with the tax authority, so the advance payment is documented and your rights are protected.
