The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the landlord's request for official knowledge regarding the tenant's failure to maintain permanent residence. The court held that since the tenants did not raise this defense or link their absence to construction works, the tribunal lacked jurisdiction to act ex officio. Consequently, the contractual resolution based on Article 64(1)(i) of the Urban Rental Regime was deemed invalid without the tenant's participation.

SUMÁRIO

I - Se os réus não invocaram qualquer causa de excepção ao contrato nem tão pouco indicaram que a recusa, na feitura das obras pelo senhorio foi a causa de não residirem no arrendado, não podia o tribunal dela conhecer oficiosamente.

II - Assim os réus incorreram na previsão resolutiva do contrato de arrendamento - falta de residência permanente - a que alude o artigo 64 n.1 alínea i) do Regime do Arrendamento Urbano.
