    CHOI CHEE MING AND ANOTHER v. LECLECQ YU MI

    Citation
    [2019] HKDC 414
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCDT73/2019

    The suspension of rent clause did not apply because the flooding damage was repairable and fell below the high threshold required to render premises unfit for use; the plaintiffs had offered cleaning and repairs and the defendant did not engage the cleaning service, undermining the assertion of an imminent health risk; the Tenancy Agreement excluded set-off and the Warrant complied with Form 1, therefore the defendant's summons to discharge the warrant was dismissed and costs awarded to the plaintiffs.
