MADDE 80 · II. Giderleri isteme hakkı

Zenginleşen iyiniyetli ise, yaptığı zorunlu ve yararlı giderleri, geri verme isteminde bulunandan isteyebilir.

Zenginleşen iyiniyetli değilse, zorunlu giderlerinin ve yararlı giderlerinden sadece geri verme zamanında mevcut olan değer artışının ödenmesini isteyebilir.

Zenginleşen, iyiniyetli olup olmadığına bakılmaksızın, diğer giderlerinin ödenmesini isteyemez. Ancak, kendisine karşılık önerilmezse, o şey ile birleştirdiği ve zararsızca ayrılması mümkün bulunan eklemeleri geri vermeden önce ayırıp alabilir.
