Question juridique clé
Whether the lease termination was abusive or retaliatory because the tenant had requested repairs.
Solution extraite
No. The landlord's delayed explanation did not make the notice abusive, and the landlord's own need to occupy the villa was a legitimate interest.
Motifs extraits
On appeal in reform, the Federal Court was bound by the cantonal findings on the factual reason for termination. The landlord's reluctance to disclose private health reasons until conciliation was not contrary to good faith, and the need for own use was not devoid of legitimate interest.
