Legislator summary

AI generated

The court confirmed the eviction order against the tenant because the landlord successfully proved the tenant was in default of paying rent. While the tenant argued that their response to a specific question regarding the transfer of use was a legal admission, the court determined it was merely a factual statement. Consequently, the burden of proof shifted to the tenant to demonstrate they had accepted the rent, which they failed to do.

SUMÁRIO

I - Tendo o locador, autor de acção de despejo, alegado e provado os factos necessários para se poder concluir existir "mora salvendi", recai sobre o locatário, réu naquela acção, o ónus de alegar e provar os factos indicativos da "mora accpiendi".

II - A resposta a quesito dizendo que o "réu cedeu o uso e fruição do imóvel a..." integra simultaneamente matéria de facto e de direito mas, sendo expressão de uso generalizado, é correcta a sua utilização.
