Article 1621. The owners of adjoining lands

shall also have the right of redemption when a

piece of rural land, the area of which does not

exceed one hectare, is alienated, unless the

grantee does not own any rural land.

This right is not applicable to adjacent lands

which are separated by brooks, drains, ravines,

roads and other apparent servitudes for the

benefit of other estates.

If two or more adjoining owners desire to

exercise the right of redemption at the same

time, the owner of the adjoining land of smaller

area shall be preferred; and should both lands

have the same area, the one who first requested

the redemption. (1523a)
