The owner is not obliged to restore to a usable condition an asset subject to a usufruct which has been damaged to such an extent that it can no longer be enjoyed; if the owner does so, the usufruct is re-established.

In cases such as insurance and expropriation, the usufruct continues over the compensation that takes the place of the object of the right.

MADDE 798 · 3. Harap olma veya kamulaştırma

Malik, yararlanılamayacak derecede harap olan intifa konusu malı yararlanılacak hâle getirmekle yükümlü değildir; getirirse intifa hakkı yeniden kurulmuş olur.

Sigorta ve kamulaştırma gibi durumlarda intifa hakkı, hakkın konusu yerine geçen karşılık üzerinde devam eder.
