If the lessee has legally sub-leased part of the leased property to another individual, the lessor can no longer apply his privilege to objects which are found in or on such part only which comprises the part which has been *312 sub-leased, and only insofar as the sub-lessee can prove compliance with the rent obligations in accordance with the lease agreement.

The right of the buyer shall lapse, if the assets, after having been in the possession of the original buyer or his representative, are purchased by a third party in good faith and delivered to him.

Chapter XX - Concerning Pledges
Article 1150
A pledge is a right which is obtained by a creditor in a movable asset, which has been provided to him by the debtor or his representative, to secure a debt, and which entitles the creditor priority over the other creditors with regard to the settlement of the debt; with the exception of the costs incurred in the sale of the asset and the costs incurred, after the pledge, for the maintenance of the asset, which shall have priority.
Article 1151
A pledge agreement shall be proven by the same means as those used for proving a principal agreement.
Article 1152
A pledge right in respect of tangible movable assets and debts payable to bearer shall be established by placing the pledge in the power of the creditor or a third party, who has been mutually agreed upon by the parties. It shall not apply to assets, which are left in the power of the debtor or the pledgor, or which shall be returned if the creditor so desires. It shall become void, if the pledge is no longer controlled by the pledgee. In the event that this occurs as a result of loss or transfer, he shall have the right to reclaim pursuant to article 1977, paragraph (2), and upon the return of the assets pledged, the pledge right shall be considered to have never been lost. The absence of authority of the pledgee to dispose of the assets cannot be denied by the creditor who has taken such assets in pledge, without prejudice to the right to reclaim by the individual who has lost the asset or from whom it was taken.
Article 1152 bis
In addition to the endorsement, the delivery of the paper shall also be required to establish the pledge right on bearer paper.
Article 1153
Pledge right to intangible movable assets, with the exception of those evidenced on bearer paper, shall be established by notification of the pledge to the individual, against whom the pledged right shall be exercised. He may claim written proof of the notification and the consent of the pledgees.
Article 1154
The creditor shall not appropriate the pledge, if the debtor or the pledgor has not complied with his obligations. Any stipulations otherwise regulated shall be deemed to be invalid.
Article 1155
Unless the parties otherwise stipulate, in the event that the debtor or the pledgor does not comply with his obligations, the creditor shall be authorized, following the lapse of a specific term or in the event that no specific term was stipulated, after a summons in respect of compliance, to sell the pledge in public pursuant to local customs and in accordance with the usual requirements, to settle the debt which shall include the interest and costs incurred from the proceeds of the sale. In the event that the pledge is of commercial items sold at the market or securities traded on the stock market, then the sale can also take place in such locations, provided that two agents involved in such business shall act as intermediaries.
Article 1156
In the event that the debtor or the pledgor fails to fulfill his obligations, the creditor may demand in court that the pledge shall be sold to satisfy the debt including the interest and costs, in the manner to be determined by the judge, or the judge shall admit the creditor's request that the pledge shall be retained by him, until an amount has been determined in the judgment to pay off the debt and the interest and costs. With regard to the transfer of the pledge in the events mentioned herein and in the previous article, the creditor is required to notify the pledgor by not later than the following day if there is a daily postal service or telegram communication, or else by the first departing mail. Notification by telegram or registered letter shall be regarded as proper notification.
Article 1157
The creditor shall be responsible for the loss or the depreciation of the property pledged, to the extent that this is caused by his negligence. However, the debtor shall be required to compensate the creditor for the necessary expenses, which the latter-mentioned has incurred in the maintenance of the land.
Article 1158
If a loan is pledged, and interest accrues on this loan, the creditor shall set off the interest against the amount which is due to him. If no interest accrues on the debt secured by the pledged loan, then the interest received by the pledgee shall be deducted from the principal sum.
Article 1159
The debtor is not authorized to claim the return of the pledged assets unless the pledgee misuses these, prior to settling the full amount which shall comprise the principal sum as well as the interest and charges incurred upon the debt which has been secured by the pledge, including the charges incurred in respect of the maintenance of the pledge. In the event that a second debt arises between the same debtor and the same creditor, following the pledge, and collectible prior to the payment, or on the date of the payment of the first debt, the creditor shall not be obliged to dispose of the property pledged, prior to full settlement of both debts, even though no stipulations have been made to secure the pledge for payment of the second debt.
Article 1160
The pledge cannot be divided, notwithstanding that the debt among the heirs of the debtor or of the creditor can be divided. The heir of the debtor who has paid his share of the debt, cannot claim the return of his share in the pledge until the debt has been fully settled. At the same time the heir of a creditor who has received his share in the debt, cannot return the pledge thereby jeopardizing the co-heirs who have not been paid yet.
Article 1161
Revoked: S.38-276.
Chapter XXI - Concerning Mortgages
Article 1162
A mortgage is a property right over immovable assets, created for the purpose of providing security for the compliance with an agreement.
Article 1163
That right is by its nature indivisible and is attached to all secured immovable assets in their entirety, to each of the assets and to each part thereof. These assets shall remain encumbered, regardless of whom they are transferred to.
Article 1164
Assets which can be mortgaged are as follows:
- (1) immovable assets which can be traded, including all parts thereof, to the extent that the latter mentioned can be regarded as immovable assets;
- (2) the use of proceeds of those assets and parts thereof;
- (3) building and planting rights and the right to tenure by long lease;
- (4) ground rents due whether in cash or in its original state;
- (5) the one tenth right;
- (6) the bazaars or markets, acknowledged by the government, together with the privileges attached thereto.
Article 1165
Mortgages shall extend to all further renovations of the encumbered asset, including anything which has become part thereof due to planting or additional development.
Article 1166
The undivided share in a joint immovable asset may be encumbered by a mortgage. Following the division of such, the mortgage shall only be attached to the portion that belongs to the debtor who has granted the mortgage, without prejudice to the stipulation in article 1341.
Article 1167
Movable assets cannot be mortgaged.
Article 1168
A mortgage cannot be imposed by any individual other than by the individual who has the authority to dispose of the encumbered asset.
Article 1169
Individuals, who have such right to an immovable asset which has been suspended by a condition, or which can be canceled or invalidated in certain cases, cannot permit any mortgages, other than those which are subject to the same requirements, cancellation or invalidation.
Article 1170
Assets belonging to minors, individuals under conservatorship, and absentees, to the extent such property is only given temporarily, can only be encumbered by mortgage, for reasons, and in accordance with the formalities, which are stipulated by law.
Article 1171
A mortgage shall only be granted by authentic deed, with the exception of those circumstances expressly stipulated by law. The power of attorney for the grant of a mortgage shall be concluded by authentic deed. Any individual, who pursuant to law or an agreement, is obligated to grant a mortgage, may be required to do so by judgment, which shall have the same effect as if he has consented to the mortgage, and shall specifically indicate the assets which shall be registered. A married woman, who has obtained a mortgage by virtue of the prenuptial agreement, may, without the assistance of her husband, or the authorization of the judge, implement the mortgage registrations and file the required legal claims thereto.
Article 1172
The sale, delivery and allocation of a mortgage debt can only take place by authentic deed.
Article 1173
No mortgage may be registered on assets located within Indonesia pursuant to an agreement concluded in a foreign country, unless it is otherwise stipulated by treaties.
Article 1174
The deed that contains the mortgage shall contain a description of the mortgaged asset, including the nature and location, insofar as is possible pursuant to the measurements done upon the government's authority. With respect to the one tenth and ground rents, which cannot specifically indicate which parcels they relate to, it shall be sufficient to provide an accurate description and indication in the deed of the area subject to the mortgage.
Article 1175
A mortgage may only be imposed on current assets. A mortgage on future assets shall be void. If, however, the wife has agreed to the mortgage, in the prenuptial agreement, or if, in general, a debtor has bound himself to grant a mortgage to the creditor, then the husband or the debtor may be required to fulfill their obligations, by also indicating the assets which he may have acquired after the conclusion of the agreement.
Article 1176
A mortgage shall be valid only to the extent that the amount thereof is certain and stipulated in the deed. If the debt is conditional or the amount thereof is not specified, then the mortgage shall be valid for the estimated value, which the parties are obliged to indicate in the deed.
Article 1177
The creditor may not, under any circumstances, claim an increase in the mortgage, unless it is otherwise stipulated by the law.
Article 1178
All stipulations, which authorize the creditor to appropriate the mortgaged assets, are deemed void. The first mortgage creditor shall, at the time that the mortgage is being created, be entitled to expressly stipulate that in the event that the principal sum is not fully settled, or that interest due is not fully paid, he shall be irrevocably authorized to sell the mortgaged property in public, for the purpose of repaying the principal sum including the interest and the charges incurred. Such stipulation shall be recorded in the public registers, and the auction shall take place in the manner set forth in article 1211.
Article 1179
The registration of mortgages shall take place in the registers designated for that purpose. In the absence of the registration, the mortgage shall not have any effect, even with regard to creditors, who do not have any connection with mortgages.
Article 1180
The registration of a mortgage shall be invalid, if it takes place at a time when the title of the asset has been transferred to a third party as a result of which the debtor already has lost his title thereto.
Article 1181
The priority of the mortgage creditors shall be determined according to the date of their registration, without prejudice to the exceptions mentioned in the following two articles. Mortgages which are registered on the same date, shall bear the same date, without any distinction being made between the times at which the registrations took place, notwithstanding that the time may have been noted by the registrar.
Article 1182
In the event that, in the sale purchase deed, a mortgage is created over the sold assets, to secure the payments due, and the registration takes place within eight days following the publication of the sale purchase deed in the manner stipulated in article 620, then this mortgage shall have priority over the mortgages which the buyer, within that time period, shall have permitted on the asset.
Article 1183
The same provision shall apply, if in the deed regarding separation of assets a mortgage is created to secure that which is due by one partner to the other, pursuant to a separation, or for protection of the designated assets. Even in this instance, a registration, carried out within eight days after the publication of the separation deed by the partner shall, to the extent that it concerns this provision, have priority over the mortgages which the recipient, within that time period might have permitted on the asset.
Article 1184
A creditor who is registered in respect of a principal sum upon which interest accrues shall be entitled to, for not more than two years and including the current year, be placed in the same rank of mortgage as his principal sum; without prejudice to his right, with regard to interest other than that which is secured by the first registration, to effect specific registrations, which shall be effective as of the same date and which shall create a mortgage.
Article 1185
If the deed, covering the mortgage, contains a specific stipulation which limits the debtor's authority, either to lease out the encumbered asset without the creditor's consent, or with regard to the manner in which, or regarding the time period during which such may be leased, or in relation to the advance payment of the rent, such a stipulation shall not only be binding between the parties, but may also be enforced upon the lessee by the creditor who has registered such stipulation in the public registers. This shall not prejudice the provisions of article 1341, which, in the event that there are grounds therefor, may be invoked by all creditors, regardless of whether or not there are any limitations stipulated in the lease agreement or advance payment.
Article 1186
To implement the registration, the creditor, shall, either personally or through a third party, submit to the registrar of mortgages, in the location of the assets, an authentic copy of the mortgage deed, including two dockets, signed by the creditor or a third party, on which a copy of the title issued shall be noted. The dockets shall consist of the following:
- (1) a specific description of the creditor and the debtor, and information regarding the domicile, selected by the aforementioned within the scope of the office of the registrar. The registration of the assets of the deceased may be carried out on his behalf;
- (2) the date and the nature of the legal title, indicating the official by whom or before whom the deed is drawn up, or the judge who has indicated the encumbered assets, pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of article 1171;
- (3) the amount of the loan, or the estimate or the temporary and unspecified interests which are required to be secured, including the time at which the debt shall be collectable;
- (4) the description of the nature and the location of the assets over which the mortgage is created, insofar as is possible pursuant to the measurements done upon the government's authority, without prejudice to the stipulation in the second paragraph of article 1174, with respect to one tenth and ground rents;
- (5) the stipulations, which, pursuant to the previous article, the second paragraph of article 1178 and the second paragraph of article 1210 could have been agreed between the creditor and the debtor.
Article 1187
The registrar shall keep the docket, noted on the authentic copy of the title, pursuant to which registration is required, for the purpose of registering such on the date of the filing. On the same day, he shall return, to the individual who has requested the registration, the other or second docket, at the bottom of which he shall have noted the date of the filing. If such is demanded, he shall, not later than within twenty four hours after this further inquiry, include in the other or second docket the number of the register where the registration took place. Both of these statements shall be signed by him. The registrar shall carefully keep the copies of the transfer deeds, establishment of property rights or rights of servitude, and of separation, including the dockets regarding registration, after having recorded or registered such in the respective registers designated thereto. He shall collect the above documents, in the order in which they have been registered in the register for filing documents or daily register; the dockets shall be separately registered. The documents filed for publication shall be bound and kept carefully in one volume, the documents for registration in a second volume, and the deeds for deletion and cancellation in a third volume. These volumes shall furthermore be formatted into separate book volumes, and on their spines the number of the volume and the time period that it covers shall be recorded, as well as the first and last number of the documents contained therein. The Governor General shall regulate the time periods, pursuant to which the documents, as aforementioned, shall be made into volumes. The date of filing, the volume and number of the register of filing shall be noted on each document filed.
Article 1188
At the registration of a claim, as mentioned in article 1108, the creditors or the legatees must provide the registrar of the mortgages with the following:
- (1) an authentic copy of the claim for separation of assets;
- (2) the death certificate of the deceased, or another valid proof that the lawsuit has been filed within six months after the inheritance became available;
- (3) two dockets containing, pursuant to the requirement in article 1186 no. (4), the description of the nature and the location of the assets, beside the assets in respect of which registration is required; and the provisions in article 1187 shall apply to these dockets.
Article 1189
The individual, who has instructed that the registration be effected, and his representatives, or those, who pursuant to an authentic deed have acquired the same right, are permitted to change the selected address in the mortgage register, provided that they choose and indicate another one in the same area, by noting it in the margin of the registration.
Article 1190
The registration shall not be canceled for non-compliance with the above formalities, but shall be canceled in the event that the register does not contain proper descriptions of the creditor, the debtor, the debt, or the encumbered assets.
Article 1191
The filing and the recording of a deed of transfer of property and the registration of or related assets located outside the jurisdiction of the registrar of the mortgages, shall be void. All recordings, which take place on a Sunday, shall be regarded as having taken place the following day.

Article 1194
Lawsuits against the creditors, resulting from the registration, shall be filed with the authorized judge, by means of subpoena, submitted to the creditor personally, at the most recent address, which has been selected in the register; and this shall apply notwithstanding the death, either of the creditors or of those with whom they are domiciled.
Article 1195
Registrations shall be canceled by crossing them out (deletion) in the registers. The deletion shall take place at the expense of the debtor, upon approval of the authorized relevant parties, or pursuant to a judgment, whether passed at the highest instance, or which has acquired legal effect.
Article 1196
In both cases, the individual who has requested the deletion shall submit an authentic deed, which authorizes the deletion, or an authentic copy of such deed or of the judgment ordering such deletion. Authentic deeds, which have been drawn up pursuant to a private deed of consent shall not be valid with regard to the deletion In the event of a dispute concerning the authority of those, who have approved the deletion, or concerning the validity of the evidence submitted, the court of justice, within whose legal jurisdiction the registration was recorded, shall pass judgment, upon a simple letter of request filed together with the relevant documents.
Article 1197
If a deletion is not approved, inquiries shall be addressed to the judge, in whose legal jurisdiction the registration took place; in the event that the claim is subject to a dispute, which is before another judge, the demand for deletion shall be referred to the judge with whom the principal dispute is pending. However, any agreement, concluded between the creditor and debtor to file a claim with a judge stipulated by one of them in the event of a dispute, shall be complied with by them.

Article 1200
The third owner may oppose the sale, if he can indicate that the original debtor still holds title to one or more immovable assets, also mortgaged to secure the same debt, which are obviously of sufficient value to cover the debt. In this regard, he may, by postponing the sale of his property, demand the prior sale of the assets held by the original debtor which are also mortgaged.
