Self-help; claim to surrender

(1) The lessor may prevent the removal of the things that are subject to the lessor’s security right, even without having recourse to the court, to the extent that the lessor is entitled to object to the removal. If the lessee moves out, the lessor may take possession of these things.

(2) If the things have been removed without the knowledge of or despite the objection of the lessor, then the lessor may demand surrender of the things for the purpose of returning them to the plot of land and, if the lessee has moved out, the lessor may demand that possession of the things be relinquished to them. The security right expires at the end of one month after the lessor has obtained knowledge of the removal of the things, unless the lessor previously has asserted this claim in court.
