The debtor cannot reacquire the enjoyment
of the immovable without first having totally paid what
he owes the creditor.
But the latter, in order to exempt himself from the
obligations imposed upon him by the preceding article,
may always compel the debtor to enter again upon the
enjoyment of the property, except when there is a
stipulation to the contrary. (1883)
