MADDE 916 · 5. Ödeme yeri

Rehin senedinden aksi anlaşılmadıkça, senet hamile yazılı olsa bile borçlu, bütün ödemelerini alacaklının yerleşim yerinde yapmak zorundadır.

Alacaklının yerleşim yeri bilinmediği veya alacaklı yerleşim yerini borçlunun zararına değiştirdiği takdirde borçlu, borcunu kendi yerleşim yerindeki veya alacaklının eski yerleşim yerindeki hâkimin belirleyeceği yere tevdi ederek borcundan kurtulabilir.

Senedin faiz kuponları varsa faiz ödemesi, kuponları ibraz edene yapılır.
