The court dismissed the review regarding the extinction of a lease contract following a divorce. The initial tenant was replaced by their ex-spouse via judicial decision, who later acquired the property, leading to a claim of confusion. The court ruled that the contract extinguished by confusion because the same entity held both the lease and the property rights.

SUMÁRIO

I - Se, na sequência de um divórcio, a pessoa do arrendatário inicial é substituída, por decisão judicial, pelo seu ex-cônjuge, vindo este posteriormente a adquirir a propriedade do locado, o contrato de arrendamento extingue-se por confusão.
