Questione giuridica chiave
Whether abusive-rent protection under the CO applies to leases between a housing cooperative and its members.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Cooperative housing leases remain subject to the rules on abusive rents; the cooperative-law relationship does not exclude tenant protection.
Motivazione estratta
The cooperative relationship and the lease are two distinct legal relationships. Cooperative law may matter for equal treatment and internal governance, but it does not justify denying the member-tenant the procedural and substantive protections of tenancy law. Article 253b(3) CO, read a contrario, shows that only public-subsidy cases under authority control are excluded.
