Where the landlord exercises its right of withdrawal (droit d’option) under Article L. 145-57 of the Commercial Code, the tenant becomes liable for an occupancy indemnity equal to the rental value, which retroactively replaces the rent from the date of expiry of the lease pursuant to Article L. 145-28 of that Code.
