Summary
A German court ruled that a landlord sunbathing naked in the courtyard of his building did not justify tenants reducing their rental payments, as it did not impair the usability of the property. The court rejected the tenant's objections, stating that the sunbathing did not have an improper effect on the property and could only be seen from the rented office by leaning far out of the window.
