LIMITATION PERIOD FOR RENTS  IN LEASING CONTRACTS

Ruling no. 13/2024 of the Supreme Court of Justice (STJ), published on 15 October 2024, standardised case law on the limitation period for rents due under finance lease contracts, establishing that such rents are time-barred in five years.

This decision is based on the similar application of Article 310(e) of the Civil Code, which sets the five-year limitation period for conventional rents and leases.
