AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the tenant's appeal regarding the eviction action's standing. The court found that the leased property belonged to an undivided inheritance, and the plaintiff lacked active standing as they were not the sole heir. Consequently, only the head of the undivided inheritance possesses the legal capacity to initiate such an eviction suit.
