Tenant's unilateral phone termination of lease held invalid; landlord remains liable for rent after tenant's move-out.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the tenant's claim that the landlord was liable for rent incurred after the tenant's move-out. The tenant argued he had terminated the lease via phone, but the court found no evidence of the landlord's consent or knowledge of this termination. Consequently, the court ruled that the lease remained valid until formally ended, making the landlord responsible for the outstanding rent.
