RS 10:9-604

§9-604. Procedure if security agreement covers real property or fixtures (a) Enforcement: personal and real property. If a security agreement covers both personal and real property, a secured party may proceed: (1) under this Part as to the personal property without prejudicing any rights with respect to the real property; or (2) as to both the personal property and the real property in accordance with the rights with respect to the real property, in which case the other provisions of this Part do not apply. (b) [Reserved.] (c) Removal of fixtures. Subject to the other provisions of this Part, if a secured party holding a security interest in fixtures has priority over all owners and encumbrancers of the real property, the secured party, after default, may exercise any of the rights the secured party has with respect to the fixtures consistent with this Part. (d) Injury caused by removal. A secured party that removes or causes the removal of fixtures shall promptly reimburse any encumbrancer or owner of the real property, other than the debtor, for the cost of repair of any physical injury caused by the removal. The secured party need not reimburse the encumbrancer or owner for any diminution in value of the real property caused by the absence of the goods removed or by any necessity of replacing them. A person entitled to reimbursement may refuse permission to remove until the secured party gives adequate assurance for the performance of the obligation to reimburse. (e) Separate appraisal. A secured party may demand separate appraisal of the fixtures to fix its interest in the receipts of the sale thereof in any proceeding in which the real property is sold pursuant to execution upon it by a mortgagee or other encumbrancer.
