Article 848: I. Nature of the creditor's right

Book Four: LAW OF PROPERTY › Part Two: LIMITED RIGHTS IN REM › Chapter One: SERVITUDES AND LAND CHARGES › Division Three: LAND CHARGE

A land charge confers on the creditor no personal claim whatsoever against the obligor; it merely entitles the creditor to obtain satisfaction of the claim from the value of the encumbered immovable.

Each performance becomes a personal debt three years after it falls due, and the immovable ceases to serve as security for that debt.

Original Turkish text

MADDE 848 · I. Alacaklının hakkının niteliği

Taşınmaz yükü, alacaklıya yükümlüye karşı hiçbir kişisel alacak hakkı sağlamaz; sadece alacağını yüklü taşınmazın değerinden elde etme yetkisi verir.

Her edim, muaccel olmasından başlayarak üç yıl sonra kişisel borç hâline gelir ve taşınmaz bu borcun güvencesi olmaktan çıkar.
