The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's decision upholding the landlord's claim for unpaid rent. The tenant argued that the rent should be suspended or treated differently, but the court found no merit in this defense. The court ruled that while the tenant is not obligated to make a deposit, the rent itself remains due and continues to accrue despite the landlord's potential delay.

SUMÁRIO

Havendo mora do senhorio a renda continua a ser devida.

Simplesmente o inquilino não é obrigado a depositá-la, pois, como se infere de modo claro dos artigos 22, do RAU e 841, n. 2 do Código Civil, tal depósito é meramente facultativo.
