In a 2018 decision it was put into evidence that when signing the lease, the tenants had raised the possibility of installing a swimming pool on the land and that the owner had refused.

Unfortunately, no registration or details are indicated for the pool on the lease.

The tenants repeated their request the following spring but the landlady still refused.

They decided to install a swimming pool anyway, containing 10,000 liters of water without notifying the landlady and without asking the city for a permit.
