Obligations of the Owner of the property
subject to usufruct...

suffer the exercise of the
usufruct without doinganything to prejudice the

Quasi-usufruct...

Quasi-usufruct...
In Roman Law:
The result is the same with a true usufruct, but
the legal form which the transaction assumes is but
of ownership encumbered with an obligation. The
fact that it is bound to give a security, reduces his
ownership on the consumable things, in some
degree, to the level of the rights of a mereusufructuary.

the right to return the same quantity & quality,
