Answer
Under the Civil Code, the lessor must (1) deliver the thing leased in a condition fit for the use intended, (2) make the necessary repairs to keep it suitable for that use during the lease, and (3) maintain the lessee in the peaceful and adequate enjoyment of the lease for its entire duration (Article 1654).
The lessee, in turn, must (1) pay the price of the lease according to the terms agreed, (2) use the thing leased as a diligent father of a family, devoting it to the use stipulated, and (3) pay the expenses of the deed of lease (Article 1657). The lessee is also answerable for any deterioration or loss caused by his fault or negligence.
