Question juridique clé
Whether the purchased property was neglected in maintenance for tax purposes under the Dumont practice
Solution extraite
The property was not shown to be neglected in maintenance; the stricter Dumont practice did not apply.
Motifs extraits
The renovation costs amounted to only about 10% of the purchase price, the house was 29 years old, and the increase in building insurance value did not suffice to establish neglected maintenance or a total renovation.
