Question juridique clé
Whether the lease termination was contrary to good faith and therefore voidable
Solution extraite
No. The renovation motive was genuine, required the tenant to vacate during at least part of the works, and the landlord was not bound by tentative or conditional relocation proposals.
Motifs extraits
The court accepted the factual finding that the stated renovation motive was real. A termination for substantial renovation is not abusive where the works materially affect use of the premises. The tenant did not give an unconditional pre-termination commitment to vacate. A possible permit issue under cantonal law did not make refusal certain.
