Paragraph Second: Warranty of Possession and Enjoyment, and Warranty Against Eviction
Article 552
Art. 552 - The guarantee that the lessor must provide to the lessee has two objects: 1 - the enjoyment and peaceful possession of the leased property; 2 - the defects of the property. This guarantee is owed as of right, even if it had not been expressly stipulated. The good faith of the lessor does not exempt him from the obligation of guarantee.
Article 559
Art. 559 - The lessor is bound to the lessee in respect of all vices and defects of the leased property which sensibly diminish the enjoyment, or render it unfit for the use to which it was intended according to its nature or according to the contract. He is equally responsible for the absence of qualities expressly promised by him or required by the destination of the property. Defects which do not prevent the enjoyment of the leased property or diminish it only in an insignificant manner, give rise to no recourse in favor of the lessee. The same applies to those tolerated by usage.
Article 560
Art. 560 - When there is a warranty, the lessee may pursue the termination of the contract or request a reduction in price. He is entitled to damages in the cases provided for in article 449. The provisions of articles 451, 452, and 453, relating to sale, are then applicable.
Article 561
Art. 561 - The lessor is not liable for the vices of the leased property that could easily have been ascertained, unless he has declared that they did not exist. He is equally not bound by any guarantee: 1 - when the vices have been declared to the lessee; 2 - when the lessee knew, at the time of the contract, the vices of the leased property or the absence of the required qualities; 3 - when the lessor has stipulated that he would not be bound by any guarantee.
