1. The lessor shall, as security for any right arising under the lease contract, have the right to retain the attachable movables that are present in the leased property, as long as they are encumbered by the statutory privilege of the lessor, even if they are not owned by the lessee. The lessor shall also have the right to object to their removal, and if they are removed despite the lessor’s objection or without their knowledge, they shall have the right to recover them from their possessor, even if acting in good faith, without prejudice to any rights such possessor may have. 2. The lessor may not exercise their right of retention or recovery if the removal of these items is required by the lessee's profession or by the ordinary course of life, or if the movables left in the leased property are sufficient to secure the rent.
