Original Turkish text

MADDE 334 · I. Genel olarak

Kiracı kiralananı ne durumda teslim almışsa, kira sözleşmesinin bitiminde o durumda geri vermekle yükümlüdür. Ancak, kiracı sözleşmeye uygun kullanma dolayısıyla kiralananda meydana gelen eskimelerden ve bozulmalardan sorumlu değildir.

Kiracının, sözleşmenin sona ermesi hâlinde, sözleşmeye aykırı kullanmadan doğacak zararları giderme dışında, başkaca bir tazminat ödeyeceğini önceden taahhüt etmesine ilişkin anlaşmalar geçersizdir.
