Regarding that type of contract is a practice of some landlords in Portugal that is used for tax evasion, although totally legal. Basically this contract states that the landlord grants you permission to live in the accomodation, normally for free even though you'll pay rent...

You have few rights under this type of contract, even though you are paying rent. I think it's accepted for a visa, but it doesn't give you any security in the medium to long term. This type of agreement is more commonly used in friends / family relationships, where personal relationships are more solid.
