Landlord's Unauthorized Alterations Justify Lease Termination

A dispute arose concerning the termination of a lease agreement by a landlord who, without authorization from the tenant, made modifications to the leased premises, specifically installing additional meters and extending piping beyond the agreed-upon area, which the court considered a breach of the lease terms. The Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision to grant the termination because the unauthorized alterations constituted a serious violation of the contractual obligations by the tenant, justifying the rescission of the lease.
