AI generated

The Court of Appeal in Łódź dismissed the tenant's appeal against the lower court's judgment ordering payment of rent and damages. The landlord successfully argued for the full amount due based on the lease agreement, while the tenant contended that the property was uninhabitable due to structural defects. The court ruled in favor of the landlord, finding that the tenant failed to prove the defects justified a reduction in rent or exemption from payment.
