Legislator summary

AI generated

The Court of Appeal dismissed the university's appeal against the Administrative Court's decision terminating a professor's tenancy. Although the university needed the apartment for a foreign staff member, the court found the professor's own employment status meant the termination lacked the 'very serious reason' required by the Housing Law. Consequently, the termination was deemed lawful and the university's claim rejected.

Legislator headnote

Housing Law § 37; Housing Law § 37(2): Termination of a tenancy by an employer for the employer's own use is only justified if there is a very serious reason, which was not established when the tenant was also an employee of the same entity.

Yliopiston kanteesta Helsingin AO on tuomiossaan 14.6.1976 lausunut, että yliopisto oli irtisanonut omistamassaan huoneistossa asuneen lehtori A:n vuokrasopimuksen päättymään ilmoittaen irtisanomisen syyksi tarvitsevansa huoneistonvuokra-asuntoon oikeutetun ulkomaalaislehtorin käyttöön asuntona. Kun irtisanominen oli tapahtunut laillisesti ja sen peruste oli näytetty toteen, AO on vahvistanut, että vuokrasopimus oli päättynyt.

A haki muutosta.

HO: Huoneisto tosin olisi yliopistolle tarpeen käytettäväksi irtisanomisilmoituksessa mainittuun tarkoitukseen yliopiston ulkomaalaisen viranhaltijan asuntona, mutta koska A, joka asuu huoneistossa, on myöskin virkasuhteessa yliopistoon eikä irtisanomiselle näin ollen ole näytetty olevan HVL 37 §:n 2 kohdassa tarkoitettua erittäin painavaa syytä, kanne hylättiin.
