ARTICLE 23 - TOLERANCE - MODALITES D’EXECUTION - INDIVISIBILITE
23.1. Toute modification des présentes ne pourra résulter que d’un document écrit et exprès sous forme d’acte bilatéral ou d’échanges de lettres.
Cette modification ne pourra en aucun cas être déduite, soit de la passivité du Bailleur, soit même de *simples tolérances*, quelles qu’en soient la fréquence et la durée, le Bailleur restant toujours libre d'exiger à tout instant la stricte application des clauses et stipulations qui n'auraient pas fait l’objet d'une modification expresse et écrite par voie d’avenant dûment signé par les parties.
From what I have read the lessor's tolerance of undesirable conduct (e.g. using the premises for purposes other than those agreed in the lease) does not stop them from being able to invoke the early termination clause if they wish to.
My translation is "single instances of tolerance", but maybe there is something better out there?
Also, the existing PROZ answer does not really fit my context.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
verbatim: "plain/simple tolerances"
This segment means that no part can deduce that something has become legal and accepted as an agreed term between both parts because it had been tolerated in the past. And this stands as an example of a situation that is contrary to the rule previously edicted: either a change has been agreed in writting or it's no enforceable term (acte bilatéral ou échange de lettres).
I think you've absolutely understood the situation but I don't agree with your "single" word. A tolerance must be repetitive to take chances with its enforceability. Therefore "single" can be misunderstood. A benevolent acceptance could raise issues and become enforceable, but not here.
In your example, the demand to terminate the contract is perfectly valid because the contract precisely states that any changes will be agreed in writing. A tacit tolerance is no written term.
I can't speek for other countries but such terms exist in French contracts to counter possible invocations of the enforceability of a usage tolerance.

Sorry. I wrote "speeak" and deleted the wrong letter. "speak", of course.
