Article 1753 of the French Civil Code

The sublessee is liable to the landlord only up to the amount of the price of his sublease for which he may be indebted at the time of the seizure, and without being able to rely on payments made in advance.

Payments made by the sublessee, either by virtue of a stipulation in his lease or as a result of the use of the premises, are not deemed to be made in advance.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1753

Le sous-locataire n’est tenu envers le propriétaire que jusqu’à concurrence du prix de sa sous-location dont il peut être débiteur au moment de la saisie, et sans qu’il puisse opposer des paiements faits par anticipation.

Les paiements faits par le sous-locataire, soit en vertu d’une stipulation portée en son bail, soit en conséquence de l’usage des lieux, ne sont pas réputés faits par anticipation.
