Article 652
If a person makes, in good faith, constructions or plantings on a land owned by another person using his own materials, he may remove such constructions or plantings if the removal does not cause damage to the land; if the removal causes damage to the land or if the person who makes the constructions or plantings does not demand their removal, the owner may choose either to pay the value of the materials and labor fees or an amount equal to the amount of appreciation of the land due to such constructions or plantings. If the value of the constructions or plantings is too high for the landowner to pay, he may demand transfer of ownership of the land to the person who made the constructions or plantings against a fair compensation.
