Legislator summary

AI generated

The Court of Appeal dismissed the tenant's appeal against the lower court's rejection of his rent reduction claim. The tenant failed to prove he had a tenancy agreement with the landlord, who instead argued the property was leased to a company for staff housing. The court upheld the original decision because the tenant did not provide sufficient evidence to establish a direct tenancy relationship.

A on Helsingin AO:ssa B:tä vastaan ajamassaan kanteessa vaatinut B:ltä vuokratun asuntonsa vuokran alentamista. B on vastustanut kannetta sillä perusteella, ettei hän ollut vuokrasuhteessa A:han, vaan hän oli vuokrannut huoneiston eräälle yhtiölle, joka oli saanut vapaasti sijoittaa huoneistoon henkilökuntaansa.

AO on tuomiossaan 17.3.1975 lausunut jääneen näyttämättä, että A:n ja B:n välillä olisi vuokrasuhde, ja hylännyt kanteen.

A haki muutosta.

HO: Ei muutosta.
