MADDE 808 · b. Güvence isteme

Haklarının tehlikeye düştüğünü ispat eden malik, intifa hakkı sahibinden güvence isteyebilir.

İntifa hakkının konusu tüketilebilen şey veya kıymetli evrak ise, malik tehlikenin ispatına gerek olmaksızın teslimden önce de güvence isteyebilir.

Kıymetli evrakın güvenilir bir yere tevdi edilmesi güvence yerine geçer.
