Lessee's Unauthorized Sublease Justifies Lease Termination
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA lessee of premises intended for commercial use, who had obtained a sublease for the same purpose without the landlord's express consent, appealed the lower court's decision ordering the termination of the main lease due to the unauthorized sublease. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, affirming that the contractual prohibition against subleasing without the landlord's written authorization was a fundamental term of the lease agreement, and the lessee's failure to obtain this consent constituted a serious breach justifying the termination of the lease, regardless of whether the sublease was for the same intended use.
