A German landlord has won the right to sunbathe naked in the courtyard of his Frankfurt building, in spite of complaints from his tenants
The landlord, who has not been named, resorted to taking legal action after a human resources company that rented premises in the building withheld payments because of his fondness for sunbathing nude in a common courtyard area, according to Frankfurt’s highest regional court. The firm, which has also not been identified, had reduced and partially withheld payments that it owed for its office space in the residential building in an upscale neighborhood of the city.
Finding in the landlord’s favor, the court ruled that the property’s usability was “not impaired by the plaintiff sunning himself naked in the courtyard.” It added that “aesthetic sensibilities were irrelevant,” and that it had found no “grossly improper act.” In addition, the location where the landlord sunbathed naked was only visible from the office rooms if staff of the HR company “leaned far out of the window,” the ruling said.
