Article L145-46

Lorsqu’il est à la fois propriétaire de l’immeuble loué et du fonds de commerce qui y est exploité et que le bail porte en même temps sur les deux, le bailleur doit verser au locataire, à son départ, une indemnité correspondant au profit qu’il peut retirer de la plus-value apportée soit au fonds, soit à la valeur locative de l’immeuble par les améliorations matérielles effectuées par le locataire avec l’accord exprès du propriétaire.
