Question juridique clé
Whether the lease clause implied an obligation to use the leased premises to house students and therefore rent remained due when the tenant used a hotel instead.
Solution extraite
The clause had to be interpreted in good faith as requiring priority use of the leased premises for the students; the tenant could not avoid rent by placing students elsewhere.
Motifs extraits
A rent fixed by number of students and days could not reasonably mean that the landlord earned nothing while keeping the premises available. Good-faith interpretation implies priority use of the leased premises by the tenant.
