16. Should it appear to the judge, upon application of the owner or of the occupant of the closed immoveable, at any time, that the said immoveable or its contents is or are likely to suffer damage by reason of its closing, the judge, under such conditions and limitations as he may see fit to impose, may permit the occupation of the said immoveable in so far as it may be necessary to prevent it or its contents from deteriorating; and where in any proceedings the owner or the occupant is not represented, the judge may attach such conditions to the closing order or reclosing order as he considers will serve to protect the said immoveable or its contents from damage.
