A lower court annulled a lease renewal agreement, finding that the landlord's failure to disclose a building permit for significant structural work, which would alter the use of the leased premises, constituted a breach of the duty to inform the tenant, justifying termination; however, the high court quashed this decision, reasoning that while the landlord had a general duty to act in good faith, the failure to disclose the permit was not a deliberate misrepresentation or fraud that would invalidate the contract, as the tenant had the means to verify the existing permits, and the work itself was not an immediate and unavoidable hindrance to the intended use of the property at the time of renewal.
