The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision to terminate the lease immediately. The tenant habitually used the rented property for prostitution, which constitutes a legal ground for eviction under Portuguese law. The court ruled that such usage fundamentally alters the contract's purpose, justifying immediate resolution without further notice.
