The lessor's right of lien

The lease agreement is one of the mutually obligatory contracts, and the lessor's main obligation is to leave the use of the leased property to the lessee. This debt of the lessor is not just a debt that must be fulfilled at the beginning of the contract. The lessor must leave the use of the leased property to the lessee during the contract. The main debt of the tenant is to pay the rent in return for the use of the leased property. Therefore, the lessor's delivery debt is one of the debts that must be fulfilled first. If the lessee does not pay the rent, the lessor cannot benefit from the defense of non-payment. The lessor is given the right of imprisonment as a guarantee of the rental fee. In order to protect the lessor against the lessee who has not fulfilled his rent payment obligation for a long time, the right of attachment has also been granted for the non-due receivables. However, the lessor has the right of lien only on immovable rents. The movables that constitute the subject of the right must have certain characteristics. As a rule, the movables must belong to the lessee. Initially, the lessor receives the receivables by converting the movables for which he has used his right of lien, into money. If these movables are wanted to be taken away from the tenant, the lessor has the right to demand the movables that constitute the subject of the right.
