Major repairs that have become necessary and urgent on the leased premises shall be carried
out by the lessor at his own expense.
The lessee shall bear the inconveniences of the repairs.
Major repairs shall in particular include the repairs of major walls, vaults, beams, roofs,
supporting walls, enclosing walls, septic tanks and drainage tanks.
The amount of the rent shall in such a case be reduced in proportion to the use and the time the
lessee was deprived of the use of the premises.
If the urgent repairs are of such a nature that they make it impossible to enjoy the premises, the
lessee may request the legal termination of the lease or its suspension during the repair works.
