Background

A landlord filed a case against a tenant before the court of first instance requesting the tenant vacate a disputed flat. The landlord said that the tenant had failed to pay the rent when due.

The court ruled that the tenant should vacate the rented flat.

The tenant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The tenant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had violated the law and the right in defence and said that he had made a few repairs in the flat and agreed with the landlord to deduct their cost from the rent. The tenant said that he requested the court to appoint an expert in order to consider the case but the court had dismissed his request.
