For reference: unless a different arrangement is specified, articles 605 and 606 of the Civil Code outline how responsibilities for repairs are divided between the bare owner and the usufructuary. Major repairs, such as those to the structural walls or entire roofs, fall to the bare owner, while the usufructuary is responsible for maintenance. Legal precedents generally suggest that a usufructuary cannot force the bare owner to undertake repairs for which the bare owner is responsible without an existing agreement to that effect (as notably seen in: Cass. Civ 3e, December 18, 2013).
