The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision dismissing the landlord's request to terminate the residential lease. The tenant argued that unauthorized structural modifications for personal comfort warranted contract resolution, but the court found no merit in this claim. The court ruled that the works did not reduce the property's rental value nor significantly sacrifice its structural integrity, thus failing to meet the statutory grounds for termination.

SUMÁRIO

Não fundamentam a resolução do contrato do arrendamento as obras no locado promovidas pelo inquilino para seu conforto e comodidade, mas sem consentimento do senhorio, que não diminuíram o valor locativo do prédio nem sacrificaram, em grau relevante, a estrutura do mesmo.
