Bearing of charges

The usufructuary is obliged to the owner to bear for the duration of the usufruct the public charges to which the thing is subject, to the exclusion of the extraordinary charges that are to be seen as based on the original value of the thing, and to bear the private-law charges to which the thing was already subject at the time at which the usufruct in the thing was created, in particular the interest on mortgage claims and land charges and the payment to be made on the basis of an annuity land charge.
