Even though the duration of the hiring has been fixed by the parties, either party may rescind it immediately for any unavoidable necessity.

If, however, such necessity has arisen by the fault of the party concerned, he is liable for damages to the other party.

629.

If after the period of duration of the contract has elapsed, the person hired continues to render services, and the hirer knowing thereof does not object, it is presumed that the parties have made a new contract of hiring on the same terms; but either party may give notice to terminate the contract in accordance with the provisions of Art. 627.

If security has been given upon the former contract, it is released upon its termination; but this does not apply to money deposited as security for good behaviour.

630.

The provisions of Art. 620. apply correspondingly to a contract for the hiring of services.

631.

If the hirer is adjudged bankrupt, the person hired or the administrator in bankruptcy may, even though the period of the hiring has been fixed, give notice to terminate the contract in accordance with the provisions of Art. 627. In that case neither party can claim compensation for damage arising from the termination of the hiring.
