The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision to terminate the residential lease due to the tenant's abandonment of permanent residence. The tenant argued that the move did not constitute a total abandonment, while the landlord contended that the absence of a stable private life center justified the resolution. The court ruled that such abandonment only achieves resolutory effect if it demonstrates continuity and stability, which was established in this case.

SUMÁRIO

I - A falta de residência permanente define-se pelo abandono do locado em virtude de o mesmo já não constituir o centro da vida privada ou familiar do arrendatário.

Para que este facto negativo alcance relevância resolutiva do contrato exige-se que o mesmo assuma um carácter de continuidade e estabilidade.
