1947. Where a lessee objects to the proposed modification, the lessor may apply to the court, within one month after receiving the notice of objection, to have the rent fixed or for a ruling on any other modification of the lease, as the case may be. Where a lessee who has subleased his dwelling for more than 12 months refuses to vacate the premises, the lessor may also apply to the court to terminate the lease.

If the lessee fails to file an application within one month after the objection or the refusal, the lease is renewed by operation of law on the same conditions.

If the court dismisses the application to terminate the lease but its decision is rendered after the expiry of the time for giving notice of modification of the lease, the lease is renewed but the lessor may, within one month after the final judgment, apply to the court to have a new rent fixed.
