The Sap Ing Sith holder has rights, duties and liabilities in the immovable property over which the Sap Ing Sith was created as if the holder were its owner, except that the right to follow and recover the immovable property from a person not entitled to detain it, and the right to prevent others from unlawfully interfering with it, remain the rights of the owner, and the holder must notify the owner of any such event immediately. Ownership of a building or structure that the Sap Ing Sith holder altered, extended or newly built on the immovable property passes to the owner of the immovable property when the Sap Ing Sith ends, unless the owner and the holder agree otherwise.
