The Tribunal da Relação do Porto partially allowed the appeal, revoking the lower court's decision regarding a landlord's failure to issue rent receipts. The landlord argued that refusing to sign receipts was a legitimate administrative choice, while the tenant contended this action constituted default under the Civil Code. The court ruled that without justified reasons, the landlord is in default, rendering rent deposit optional and eliminating the need to determine if deposits release the tenant from liability.

SUMÁRIO

I - Incorre em "mora creditoris" o senhorio que recusa, sem motivo justificado, passar recibos exigidos pelo arrendatário.

II - Em tal situação, o depósito das rendas torna-se facultativo, sendo desnecessário saber se os depósitos liberam ou não o arrendatário.
