Cap. 16 Art. 1527Letting by co- possessor when voidable.

(1) The lease of an urban property, a residence or a commercial tenement that is co-possessed by more than one person shall always be made by all the co-possessors subject to the provisions of article 1530.

(2) Should one of the co-possessors also occupy the co-possessed property, if the parties agree that a contract of lease be made, such an agreement shall be made by a contract in writing between all co-possessors on the one hand and the occupier of the tenement on the other; and thereafter such person shall be considered to be a lessee, according to the terms and conditions of a contract of lease, without losing his rights as a co-possessor: Provided that this sub-article shall be without prejudice to the provisions of Title V of the Second Book, Part I of this Code.

(3) Should a co-possessor of an urban tenement, a residence or a commercial tenement lease out such property without authorization by a judgment of the Rent Board, or in the case of a movable without authorization of the competent court, or without the consent of the other co-possessors, such lease may at the request of any one of the other co-possessors be declared null, unless such request is made within two months from the date when such other co-possessor would have obtained knowledge of such a lease.
