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 may not be set up by the lessor against the lessee unless they are set out in the lease and, in the case of a dwelling referred to in the second paragraph, unless the lease indicates the maximum rent that the lessor may impose in the five years after the date on which the immovable is ready for its intended use.
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.
