A lessor appealed a lower court's decision that found them liable for damages after a fire, which began on the leased premises due to faulty electrical wiring that the tenant had repeatedly reported, causing damage to both the leased property and the tenant's belongings, with the court reasoning that the lessor had a non-delegable obligation to maintain the building in a condition suitable for its intended use, including ensuring the electrical installations were safe, and their failure to repair the known defect constituted a breach of this obligation, justifying the award of damages to the tenant.
