Supreme Court allows tenant's claim for reasonable rent deduction due to landlord's failure to mitigate housing damage.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the tenant's appeal regarding the reasonableness of the rent deduction demanded by the landlord. The tenant argued that the landlord failed to mitigate damages after the property was damaged, while the landlord contended the full deduction was justified. The court ruled that the landlord had a duty to take reasonable steps to minimize the loss, and thus the tenant's claim for a reasonable reduction was upheld.
