Question juridique clé
Whether the tenant could claim compensation or set-off for the unamortized fit-out contribution after early termination of the lease.
Solution extraite
No. The court held that, by analogy to Art. 260a CO and in light of good faith, the tenant could not claim an indemnity where the tenant alone caused the premature termination through rent default.
Motifs extraits
The contractual amortization made sense only for an ordinary-term lease. Since the tenant alone caused the early termination and the landlord was not responsible, allowing a compensation claim would contradict good faith and amount to an abuse of rights.
