The court ordered the eviction of Jamavi Fastfood from the Victoria Hotel premises due to the landlord's claim of urgent self-use, despite the tenant's counterclaim for breach of contract. Expert reports confirmed the kitchen's grease duct was severely clogged and never cleaned, making a fire highly probable. Consequently, the court rejected the tenant's argument that the landlord failed to maintain the property, ruling instead that the landlord's right to terminate outweighed the tenant's damages claim.

Art. 7:230 BW; Art. 7:248 BW: Where a lease is terminated for urgent self-use, the tenant cannot claim damages for breach of contract if the termination is justified by the premises' dangerous condition, even if the landlord failed to maintain them.
