Lessee's Acquisition of Ownership Does Not Extinguish Pre-existing Usufruct Right
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA lessee, having purchased the property they were renting, subsequently attempted to terminate a pre-existing usufruct agreement concerning the same property, asserting that the usufructuary, who was the former lessor, had failed to fulfill contractual obligations related to property maintenance; however, the court found that the usufruct right, being a real right established by title, remained valid and enforceable against the new owner, even if the usufructuary may have breached related personal obligations, because the obligations of the lessor under the lease did not automatically merge with or extinguish the pre-existing usufruct right upon the lessee's acquisition of ownership.
