Reference decision: cc • No. 19-19.285 • 09-09-2021 • Consult the decision →
This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it means for you.
The situation
Having noted that works decided and carried out by the tenant, which were not claimed to be improvements, had significantly altered the characteristics of the leased premises during the expired lease, a court of appeal, which was not required to investigate whether this significant alteration had a favourable impact on the activity carried on by the tenant, correctly held that this significant alteration in itself justified the uncapping of the rent upon renewal of the lease
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Strictly observe the legal time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, letters)
