Interruption caused by a subordinate of the lessor shall be deemed caused by the lessor. 2. The lessor is bound to warrant the leased thing against any interruption caused by a third party if such interruption is based on legal grounds. 3. If the interruption provided for in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Article prevents the lessee’s full or partial use and enjoyment of the leased thing, the lessee may demand termination of the lease or reduction of the rent, without prejudice to his right to compensation.
