Lessee v. Lessor: Indemnity for Undiscovered Defect
France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA lessee, claiming to have suffered damage to the leased premises due to an undiscovered defect predating the lease, sued the lessor for indemnity; the court, finding that the lease agreement expressly stipulated the lessee's acceptance of the premises in their current state, which covered apparent defects, and that the lessee failed to prove the claimed damage resulted from a hidden defect unknown to them at the time of signing, confirmed the lower court's decision rejecting the lessee's claim, reasoning that the contractual stipulation effectively waived the lessee's right to claim indemnity for such defects unless they were latent and unknown.
