This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The Court of Appeal breaches Articles 1719 and 1725 of the Civil Code by adding to the law a condition that it does not contain, in holding that although the landlord is responsible for the various nuisances, disturbances and abuses that may occur between tenants living in the same building, when such conduct exceeds the normal inconveniences of neighbourhood, this guarantee principle does not apply when the acts complained of against the fellow tenants are in no way related to the normal common enjoyment of the building, but result from bad neighbourly relations.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, letters)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
