Article 1129

The usufructuary of an apartment right, and not the apartment owner, is liable for the joint debts and the contributions owed to the apartment owners and the association of owners. Upon the termination of the usufruct, however, the usufructuary is entitled to reclaim from the apartment owner the amounts which he has paid, other than those for ordinary charges and repairs.

The apartment owner who has paid debts or contributions referred to in sub-Article (1) can require the usufructuary to return to him the amounts paid plus interest as of the day of payment, to the extent that these amounts concern ordinary charges and repairs. The usufructuary only owes interest from the day of payment until the termination of the usufruct with respect to other amounts paid by the apartment owner.

Unless otherwise provided upon the establishment of the usufruct, the usufructuary exercises, in the association of owners, the right to vote which is attached to an apartment right.

The foregoing article applies mutatis mutandis to the establishment, transfer and termination of the usufruct of an apartment right.
