Article 1721 of the French Civil Code

The lessee is owed a guarantee for all defects or faults in the leased property that prevent its use, even if the lessor did not know of them at the time of the lease.

If these defects or faults result in any loss for the lessee, the lessor is obliged to compensate him.
