MADDE 280 · 4. Zapttan ve ayıptan sorumluluk

Cebrî artırmalarda zapttan ve ayıptan sorumluluğa ilişkin hükümler uygulanmaz.

Artırmadan mal alan kişi, o mala, tapu siciline veya satış koşullarına ya da kanuna göre belirli olan durumu, hakları ve yükleri ile birlikte malik olur.

İsteğe bağlı açık artırmalarda satıcı, satılanın zaptından ve ayıplarından sorumludur. Ancak, aldatma durumu dışında, artırma koşullarında açıkça belirtip duyurmak suretiyle bu sorumluluktan kurtulabilir.
