MADDE 753 · 3. Zorunluluk hâlinde

Bir kimse kendisini veya başkasını tehdit eden bir zararı veya o anda mevcut bir tehlikeyi ancak başkasının taşınmazına müdahale ile önleyebilecek ve bu zarar ya da tehlike taşınmaza müdahaleden doğacak zarardan önemli ölçüde büyük ise, malik buna katlanmak zorundadır.

Malik, bu yüzden uğradığı zarar için hakkaniyete uygun bir denkleştirme bedeli isteyebilir.
