Key legal question
Whether the subletting request was made in good faith under Art. 271a para. 1 let. a CO
Extracted holding
Yes. The tenants had a real, foreseeable interest in returning to the flat, and the landlords showed no major disadvantage or bad-faith use of the subletting right.
Extracted reasoning
The subletting was not abusive, the tenants intended to reoccupy the flat later, and living nearby did not show lack of need or bad faith.
