MADDE 871 · 2. Rehin dereceleri arasındaki ilişki

Aynı taşınmaz üzerinde farklı sıralarda kurulmuş bulunan rehin haklarından birinin terkin edilmiş olması, sonraki sırada yer alan rehinli alacaklıya boşalan dereceye geçme hakkı vermez.

Terkin edilen rehin hakkı yerine yeni bir rehin hakkı kurulabilir.

Sonraki sırada yer alan rehinli alacaklılara boşalan dereceye geçme hakkı veren sözleşmelerin geçerliliği, resmî şekilde yapılmalarına; aynî etki sağlamaları, tapu kütüğüne şerh verilmelerine bağlıdır.
