Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““When, therefore, the lease of a house for a given time expires, the landlord may, at any time within one week, expel the tenant without giving him any notice, and the tenant, in like manner, may quit the premises without notice to the landlord, but if the latter suffer him to hold over for a week, then the tenant holds for one month under Article 2655 (2684) at the previous rent and can only be expelled by the fifteen days’ notice required by the following article of the Code; and he, on the other hand, can quit only on giving a similar notice to the landlord. Such appears to us to be the only effect of a tacit reconduction, under the articles of our code.””

2. ““If the tenant either of a house or of a room should continue in possession for a week after his lease has expired, without any opposition being made thereto by the lessor, the lease shall be presumed to have been continued, and he cannot be compelled to deliver up the house or room without having received the legal notice or warning directed by Article 2686.””
