The court allowed the tenant to denounce the housing lease contract for termination due to insufficient living space for the family. Although the tenant lived in a small room with the family, the court recognized that such conditions necessitate ending the rental agreement. The decision established that even reduced family units require adequate housing, permitting contract termination under these specific circumstances.
