The civil court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for a rent reduction based on deteriorating housing conditions. The plaintiff alleged technical failures such as leaking windows and the need for a new heating system, while the defendant remained passive despite requests to improve living standards. The court ruled that the plaintiff failed to prove the defendant's fault or active negligence in maintaining the property, as the defendant simply avoided communication rather than actively causing the damage.
