Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the tenants were entitled to a rent reduction for alleged defects in the stairs.
Decisione estratta
No. The defects were part of the contractually agreed condition of the leased premises, so no rent reduction was due.
Motivazione estratta
The court upheld the factual finding of a valid waiver of defect rights in the overall contractual arrangement. The tenants had long known the condition, and the lease was linked to a broader package including a purchase option and compensation by a lower rent.
