Legislator summary

The court dismissed the appeal regarding the validity of a lease renewal based on rent receipts issued to a deceased tenant. The appellant argued that continued payment and receipt issuance implied a tacit renewal under the Civil Code, while the respondent contended that the tenant's death terminated the contractual relationship. The court ruled that mere receipt issuance without explicit agreement does not create a new lease for the successor occupant.

SUMÁRIO

A simples recepção de rendas mediante recibos passados em nome de um arrendatário já falecido não constitui declaração negocial tácita no sentido da outorga do novo contrato de arrendamento a favor de quem, permaneça a habitar no artigo arrendado com tolerância do dono do imóvel.
