Landlord – Tenant – Maintenance – Tenancy Agreement – Rent
This case involved a claim for unpaid rent. The tenant had vacated the properties before the end of the tenancy agreement. They were entitled to do this because the landlord had not fixed sewage problems which prevented them from using the properties.
Background
A claimant filed requested the judge in the civil court order a school to pay him an amount of money. The claimant said that a school had rented six villas from him and failed to pay the rent for December 2001. The claimant said that the school vacated the villas six months before the termination of the tenancy agreement.
The judge refused to issue the order and referred the case to the court. The court ruled that the school should pay the claimant the amount.
The school appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court amended the appealed ruling and ruled that the school should pay the claimant 5350 Dinars.
Decision
The claimant and the school appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.
