Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the tenant's appeal, upholding the lower court's order for the tenant to pay outstanding rent and vacate the premises. The tenant had attempted to reduce the rent to 120 marks per month, arguing the property was in poor condition, but failed to serve a formal notice of objection to the lease. Consequently, the court ruled that the tenant waived the right to claim a rent reduction by not following the required procedural steps.

RO: A oli vuokrannut 7 m

:n suuruisen pihamökin B:lle 300 markan kuukausivuokrasta. A oli vaatinut B:n velvoittamista suorittamaan maksamatta jätetyt vuokrat yhteensä 1.860 markkaa laillisine korkoineen ja B:n velvoittamista muuttamaan heti huoneistosta häädön uhalla. B oli haastetta ottamatta vaatinut vuokraa alennettavaksi 120 markaksi kuukaudessa pitäen mainittua määrää kohtuullisena käypänä vuokrana kysymyksessä olevasta huonokuntoisena pitämästään huoneistosta. AO oli tuomiossaan velvoittanut B:n suorittamaan maksamatta jätetyt vuokrat vaaditulla tavalla ja jättänyt vuokranalennuskanteen tutkimatta, koska vaatimus oli esitetty haastetta ottamatta.

B haki muutosta.

HO: Ei muutosta.
