Legislator summary

AI generated

The court confirmed the eviction decision against the commercial tenant, ruling that the guarantor's status as a principal debtor does not shield them from the landlord's eviction action. Although the guarantor argued that the seizure of the tenant's rights by a third party should prevent eviction, the court held this fact is irrelevant to the landlord. Consequently, the landlord is not required to consider the third-party seizure when exercising the right to evict the tenant.

SUMÁRIO

I - O fiador responsável como principal pagador de um arrendatário comercial não beneficia contra o senhorio do facto de o direito do inquilino comercial ter sido penhorado em execução intentada por terceiro contra este.

II - Na acção de despejo contra o arrendatário com o seu direito penhorado por terceiro, esta penhora é um facto alheio ao senhorio que não tem de a levar em consideração.
