Article 815-9 of the French Civil Code

Each undivided co-owner may use and enjoy the undivided property in accordance with its intended purpose, to the extent compatible with the rights of the other undivided co-owners and with the effect of acts regularly entered into during the period of undivided ownership. Failing agreement between the interested parties, the exercise of this right is provisionally regulated by the president of the court.

An undivided co-owner who uses or enjoys the undivided property privately is, unless otherwise agreed, liable for compensation.

L’indivisaire qui use ou jouit privativement de la chose indivise est, sauf convention contraire, redevable d’une indemnité.
