Ms. Wang from Shanghai, mainland China recently received a call from her landlord, who hoped that she could move to a hotel for a few days, because her room would be decorated as a mourning hall for funerals. Thinking that the room after opening the door has been decorated as a mourning hall, he sued the court in a fit of anger.

comprehensiveLu MediaAccording to reports, Ms. Wang is an office worker who rents a house in Songjiang, Shanghai. She received a call from the daughter of the landlord, Aunt Li, on her way to work. Came to arrange a mourning hall for a funeral; Ms. Wang was dumbfounded after hearing this, and immediately went home to find out the situation, but when she opened the door, she saw that her room had been decorated as a mourning hall, not only the old man’s coffin, incense candles, but also Condolences to relatives.

The landlord explained that because this was the old man’s former residence, according to local customs, after the death of the old man, he must stay in the house for several days before he can “go out”. God, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong I decided to go to court and demand compensation from the landlord, Aunt Li

Thinking that Aunt Li had seriously breached the contract, she demanded to terminate the house lease contract, return the deposit and the rent paid in advance, and pay liquidated damages, wages for lost work, hotel fees, etc. More than 40,000 yuan (RMB, the same below).

Aunt Li, the landlord, argued that there was no breach of contract, and hoped that Ms. Wang would fully respect the local customs, and she had called to inform in advance. After the suspension is over, the house will be restored to its original state, which will not affect Ms. Wang’s residence, and she is willing to compensate Ms. Wang for the necessary expenses for temporary stay in the hotel. In addition, the house can continue to be used after it is restored to its original state. If Ms. Wang insists on moving out, the landlord will not be liable for breach of contract.

In this regard, the Punan Court of the Songjiang Court made a judgment that the two parties terminated the contract, and the landlord apologized to the tenant, refunded the deposit, rent, and compensated for the loss. Aunt Li admitted her mistake. In addition to refunding the deposit and excess rent, she also compensated more than 8,000 yuan on the spot, and sincerely apologized to Ms. Wang.
