DE LA CONSIGNACION

In the cases in which the vacating is demanded on the grounds of subsections a), c) and d) of Article 40, the landlord must deposit in the National Treasury or in its agencies an amount equal to the sum of two monthly installments in favor of the lessee, a deposit that shall be delivered to the latter as compensation for damages and losses, if two months after the date on which the vacating has been carried out the person for whom it was requested has not installed himself in his immovable property or in part of it, as the case may be, the building, dwelling or premises has not been demolished, or the business to which subsection d) of Article 40 refers has not been installed, as the case may be.

Such matters shall be verified by the corresponding Tribunal.

The landlord may recover that sum when he evidences that he has complied with the invoked grounds.
