Extra ordinary maintenance

As regards extra ordinary works of maintenance the usufructuary shall only be bound to notify in time the owner who if he so desires may carry out the same. § 1 - But if the owner does not carry them out and if they are of real utility, the usufructuary may carry them out at his cost and demand payment of the value which they may have at the termination of the usufruct. § 2 - In such a case however, the usufructuary shall maintain the original form and design of the work.
