Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the tenant was entitled to terminate the lease immediately under Art. 259b lit. a OR because renovation works created a serious defect
Decisione estratta
Yes. The planned and already ongoing renovation, with no suitable replacement offered, made continued use of the medical practice unreasonable and justified immediate termination.
Motivazione estratta
The works substantially impaired the premises’ suitability for use as a medical practice, required early planning and patient continuity, and the landlord failed to provide a fully equivalent replacement under Art. 259c OR.
