Art. 2784. Preservation of property by purchaser under reservation of rent.
The thing sold with reservation of rent, becomes the property of the person receiving it, in the same manner as a thing sold becomes the property of the purchaser; but whereas the purchaser may make what use he pleases of the thing bought and may even destroy it, when he has paid the price, the purchaser under reservation of rent is bound to preserve the thing in good condition that it may continue capable of producing wherewith to pay the rent.
