The court confirmed the lower court's decision to deny a rent increase for a building lacking construction or usage licenses. The landlord argued for higher rents based on market value, while the tenant contended that the absence of official permits should block any adjustment. The court ruled that the new Urban Rental Regime explicitly forbids rent hikes in such unauthorized structures, placing the onus on the landlord to prove the existence of a license rather than the tenant to prove its absence.
