Question juridique clé
Whether CHF 723.70 in tenant overcharges was sufficiently substantiated and recoverable.
Solution extraite
The appeal on the monetary claim was rejected; the tenant did not substantiate the calculation sufficiently, and the alleged renovation-related costs for the relevant period were not shown.
Motifs extraits
The appellate court upheld the first instance in substance: several sub-claims were not properly argued, and for the renovation-related costs no proof was produced that renovation work continued after 2012-10-01 so as to affect the 2012/2013 service-charge period.
