Key legal question
Whether the lease termination was invalid as contrary to good faith under Art. 271 CO
Extracted holding
The termination was not abusive; the landlord’s stated reason, the children’s plan to run a café-bar in the premises, was credible and objectively worthy of protection.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court’s factual findings on the termination motive were binding. A termination for the landlord’s close relatives to occupy the premises is not contrary to good faith, and the tenants did not show that the motive was merely a pretext.
