Legislator summary

AI generated

The court held that a verbal rural lease contract produces normal effects only if the landlord notifies the tenant to reduce it to writing and refuses unjustifiably. Since the landlord failed to issue such a notice, the tenant was permitted to request the contract's nullity. Consequently, the appeal was allowed to establish that the lack of written reduction after proper notice renders the verbal agreement void.
