(1) Notre ancien droit, avant le Code, est ainsi constaté dans l'article 2005. tel qu'il a été inséré dans le Code, par les codificateurs, conne repoduisant cet ancien droit :

2005. Le privilège du locateur s'étend à tout le le yer échu et à échoir en vertu d'un bail en forme authentique ; si le bail n’est pas en forme authenti que, le privilège n'existe que pour trois termes échus et pour tout ce qui reste de l’année courante.”

Cet article a été amendé, depuis, par le Statut de Québec de 1898, 61 Vic toria, chap. 46, art. 1; mais lamendement n'atfecte pas la question décidée par cette cause.
