A, jolle oli työsuhteen perusteella annettu 480 mk:n kuukausivuokrasta vuokralle asuinhuoneisto, oli työnantajansa tietämättä vuokrannut huoneiston edelleen B:lle ja C:lle 1000 mk:n kuukausivuokrasta. Muutettuaan huoneistosta B ja C olivat AO:ssa vaatineet vuokraa palautettavaksi siltä osin kuin se ylitti A:n huoneistosta maksaman vuokran. AO oli tuomiossaan 26.4.1983 velvoittanut A:n palauttamaan vuokrien erotuksen katsoen A:n toimineen HVL 47 b §:n 1 momentin vastaisesti.

A haki muutosta.

HO:n ratkaisu: Ei muutosta
