Tenant wins partial lease termination due to asbestos renovation costs exceeding rent reduction.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court partially terminated the lease agreement, ordering a rent reduction to €700 per month until the asbestos renovation was completed. The tenant argued that renovation costs would severely impact their income, while the landlord claimed the market value justified the current rent. The court ruled that the specific renovation costs provided a valid ground for partial termination under Dutch civil law, though it rejected claims for material and immaterial damages due to lack of evidence.
