Indemnities due as a result of insurance against fire, hail, livestock mortality or other risks are allocated, without the need for express delegation, to preferential or mortgage creditors, according to their rank.
Nevertheless, payments made in good faith prior to opposition are valid.
The same applies to compensation due in the event of a claim by the tenant or neighbour, in application of articles 1733 and 1240 of the Civil Code.
In the case of rental risk insurance or neighbour’s recourse insurance, the insurer may not pay to anyone other than the owner of the rented property, the neighbour or the third party subrogated to their rights, all or part of the sum due, as long as the said owner, neighbour or subrogated third party have not been paid for the consequences of the loss, up to the amount of the said sum.
