Article 1727 of the French Civil Code

If those who committed the assault or battery claim to have any right over the leased thing, or if the lessee himself is summoned to court to be ordered to surrender all or part of the thing, or to suffer the exercise of any easement, he must call the lessor as guarantor, and must be put out of action, if he so requires, by naming the lessor for whom he owns.

Si ceux qui ont commis les voies de fait, prétendent avoir quelque droit sur la chose louée, ou si le preneur est lui-même cité en justice pour se voir condamner au délaissement de la totalité ou de partie de cette chose, ou à souffrir l’exercice de quelque servitude, il doit appeler le bailleur en garantie, et doit être mis hors d’instance, s’il l’exige, en nommant le bailleur pour lequel il possède.
