Question juridique clé
Was the tenant entitled to terminate the leases immediately for a severe defect under Art. 259b lit. a OR?
Solution extraite
No. The incidents and fire risk constituted at most minor defects and did not make continued use objectively intolerable.
Motifs extraits
The court upheld the lower court's overall assessment: the smaller attacks were short-lived, the landlord reacted promptly, the major fire remained isolated and the situation was objectively stabilized; there was no severe defect justifying immediate termination.
