Questão jurídica principal
Whether the tenants could oppose the rent claim by set-off based on the April 13, 2000 agreement.
Decisão extraída
The compensation defense was not opposable to the mortgage creditor pursuing enforcement, because the agreement was an impermissible disposition affecting unmatured rent within the scope of Art. 806 CC.
Fundamentação extraída
Once mortgage enforcement had been initiated before the rent became due, the creditor was entitled to the full rental proceeds. The arrangement advanced the rent due date for the very purpose of offsetting another claim and, given the circumstances, fell within the protection of Art. 806 para. 3 CC by analogy.
