Landlords and, in their place, the main tenants who have not, one month before the term set by the lease or by verbal agreements, given notice to the public accountant responsible for collecting direct taxes of their tenants’ move, are liable for the sums owed by them for business property tax.
In the event that this term is brought forward, as in the case of a stealth move, the owners and, in their place, the principal tenants become liable for their tenants’ tax, if they have not, within three months, given notice of the move to the public accountant.
The portion of the tax left to the owners or principal tenants by the first and second paragraphs includes only the fraction relating to the practice of the profession during the previous and current month.
