Key legal question
Whether the apartment defects justified a rent reduction under tenancy law
Extracted holding
Yes. The defects were real, affected contractual use, and justified a 40% reduction at first and then 30% thereafter; the landlord's objection was rejected.
Extracted reasoning
The factual findings showed numerous defects from the outset. The court held that the agreed inspection state was not the contractual benchmark because the apartment was unfinished, and the reduction amount was an unreviewable discretionary assessment absent legal error or manifest unfairness.
