The court confirmed the lower court's dismissal of the landlord's eviction claim based on the tenant's alleged unauthorized construction. Although the lease required written authorization, the landlord provided verbal consent, supervised the work, and even assisted in its execution. The court ruled that demanding written authorization in this context would constitute an abuse of right, thereby upholding the tenant's position.

SUMÁRIO

I - Sendo certo que estava contratual e legalmente estabelecido que para a realização de obras no locado era necessário autorização escrita, constitui abuso de direito o pedido de despejo com tal fundamento se o senhorio apenas deu autorização verbal, mas acompanhou a execução das obras e até ajudou a realizá-las.
