1955. Neither the lessor nor the lessee of a dwelling leased by a housing cooperative to one of its members may apply to the court to have the rent fixed or any other condition of the lease modified.
Similarly, the lessor or the lessee of a dwelling situated in a recently erected immovable or an immovable used for rental as a result of a recent change of destination may not pursue such a remedy within five years after the date on which the immovable is ready for its intended use.
Those restrictions shall, however, be mentioned in the lease of such a dwelling; if they are not mentioned, they may not be set up by the lessor against the lessee.
The above rules do not apply in the case of a dwelling that has been the subject of a change of destination referred to in article 1955.1.
