Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the lease termination was voidable as abusive or as a sale-induced notice under Art. 271a al. 1 let. c CO / Art. 271 al. 1 CO.
Decisione estratta
No. The landlord wanted to sell the apartment to any buyer, and the notice aimed at improving the sale conditions, which is not abusive and does not establish the causal link required for a notice intended only to force a purchase.
Motivazione estratta
The decisive fact was the landlord’s intention to sell to anyone, not specifically to pressure the tenants into buying. Without a causal link between the notice and a pressure to purchase, Art. 271a al. 1 let. c CO does not apply; a notice to sell at expiry is not contrary to good faith.
