Landlord Liability for Necessary Repairs Without Prior Authorization

Landlord Liability for Necessary Repairs Without Prior Authorization: A landlord appealed a lower court decision that ordered them to compensate a tenant for necessary repairs they had undertaken, arguing the tenant had not obtained prior authorization as required by the lease agreement, but the court of cassation quashed the decision, reasoning that even if the lease stipulated prior authorization, a tenant is nevertheless entitled to reimbursement for necessary repairs made to preserve the leased property, particularly when the landlord was duly informed of the need for the work, thus establishing the landlord's liability irrespective of the contractual clause regarding authorization.
