“"The lessee is bound: "1. To enjoy the thing leased as a good administrator, according to the use for which it was intended by the lease.. . ."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"We may point out that under the provisions of our Code, the lessee is under an obligation to return the leased thing at the expiration of the lease in the same state in which he received it, except for the necessary allowance for wear and tear. Articles 2719 and 2720 of the Revised Civil Code. The thing leased was the business and the equipment necessary for its operation. There is no question that the parties contemplated the continuation of the business as a going concern during the term of the lease. A mere reading of the lease itself and its provisions above referred to discloses this fact."”
