Article 1040Return of the Building of Residence, etc.

第千四十条(居住建物の返還等)

Except in the case prescribed in the preceding Article, when the spouse's short-term right of residence is extinguished, the spouse must return the building of residence; provided, however, that if the spouse holds a co-ownership interest in the building of residence, the acquirer of the building of residence may not demand the return of the building of residence on the grounds that the spouse's short-term right of residence has been extinguished.

配偶者は、前条に規定する場合を除き、配偶者短期居住権が消滅したときは、居住建物の返還をしなければならない。ただし、配偶者が居住建物について共有持分を有する場合は、居住建物取得者は、配偶者短期居住権が消滅したことを理由としては、居住建物の返還を求めることができない。

The provisions of Article 599, paragraphs (1) and (2) and Article 621 apply mutatis mutandis where, pursuant to the main clause of the preceding paragraph, the spouse returns a building of residence to which the spouse has attached something after the opening of the succession or a building of residence that has sustained damage arising after the opening of the succession.

第五百九十九条第一項及び第二項並びに第六百二十一条の規定は、前項本文の規定により配偶者が相続の開始後に附属させた物がある居住建物又は相続の開始後に生じた損傷がある居住建物の返還をする場合について準用する。
