Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the tenant's appeal, ruling that the eviction was lawful due to a clear breach of the written agreement. The tenant had explicitly committed to vacating the premises on a specific date, thereby losing the legal basis to remain in possession from that day forward. Consequently, the Housing Authority's decision to evict the tenant was upheld as a proper enforcement of the contractual terms.

Koska vuokralainen oli vuokranantajan kanssa tekemässään kirjallisessa sopimuksessa sitoutunut vapauttamaan huoneiston määräpäivänä, vuokralaisella ei ollut oikeusperustetta huoneiston hallintaan kyseisestä päivästä alkaen. Tämän vuoksi vuokralainen häädettiin virka-aputeitse.

Tämän virka-apuasian, jossa HO ei ottanut varsinaista kantaa asian huoneenvuokraoikeudellisiin kysymyksiin, ratkaisu on selostettu KKO:n vuosikirjassa V:1978-II-101
