A dispute arose regarding liability after a fire damaged a leased property, where the tenant claimed the fire resulted from a defect in the heating system, while the landlord argued the tenant was responsible for negligence in maintaining the appliance; the court of appeal upheld the landlord's position, finding that the tenant failed to prove the fire was caused by a latent defect inherent to the system, which is the burden of proof required under relevant articles to exempt a tenant from the presumption of responsibility for damage occurring during a lease.
