Section 12. Who may acquire easements.

An easement may be acquired by the owner of the immovable property for the beneficial enjoyment of which the right is created or on his behalf, by any person in possession of the same. One of two or more co-owners of immovable property may, as such, with or without the consent of the other or others, acquire an easement for the beneficial enjoyment of such property. No lessee of immovable property can acquire, for the beneficial enjoyment of other immovable property of his own, an easement in or over the property comprised in his lease.
