The court ordered the landlord to reconstruct a 6 m² storage room on the attic, rejecting the tenant's claim that the landlord had acted in bad faith. The tenant argued the landlord refused to offer a new apartment or guarantee the storage room, yet the landlord had previously offered a lower rent deal that was rejected. The court found insufficient evidence of the landlord's refusal to negotiate, noting the landlord kept options open and rejected a specific offer, thus dismissing the reconvention. Consequently, the tenant must rebuild the storage facility while the landlord's counterclaim fails.
