Article 298Custody of Thing Retained by Holders of Rights of Retention

第二百九十八条(留置権者による留置物の保管等)

The holder of a right of retention must possess the thing retained with the due care of a prudent manager.

留置権者は、善良な管理者の注意をもって、留置物を占有しなければならない。

The holder of the right of retention may not use, lease or provide as a security the thing retained unless that holder obtains the consent of the obligor; provided, however, that this does not apply to uses necessary for the preservation of that thing.

留置権者は、債務者の承諾を得なければ、留置物を使用し、賃貸し、又は担保に供することができない。ただし、その物の保存に必要な使用をすることは、この限りでない。

If the holder of a right of retention violates the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the obligor may demand that the right of retention be terminated.

留置権者が前二項の規定に違反したときは、債務者は、留置権の消滅を請求することができる。
