Maus Hábitos: "conflicts" and "lies" dictate end of contract
Nuno de Campos, manager of the Garagem Passos Manuel, denies claims of increased rent for the cultural space Maus Hábitos, attributing the non-renewal of the lease to a breakdown of trust due to ongoing conflicts and breaches by the management. He emphasizes that financial issues were not the central problem, highlighting past support provided to Maus Hábitos. Campos lists numerous alleged contractual violations, including safety risks and unauthorized alterations to the property. He insists that the decision to end the lease was not related to future rent but rather to the management's failure to comply with legal and safety standards. Daniel Pires, representing Maus Hábitos, states that the landlord accepted all breaches and plans to address the matter in court. The Porto City Hall is currently reviewing a request for the Maus Hábitos to be classified under the Porto de Tradição program, which could influence the future of the space.
