8 ‎[1] ‎[2] The man who rents a field or an orchard to cultivate and to spend money on it, giving the landowner one-third or one-fourth of the produce, or anything they have stipulated, is called share-cropper. Whatever is spent on fencing the land, the landowner is required to pay ; and whatever is spent on extra precaution, the tenant or share-cropper is required to pay.— — ‎[3] ‎[4] ‎[5] ‎[6] ‎[7] ‎[8] If one leased a field from another and refused to weed it, saying to the lessor: "What are you losing? I am paying you rent, anyway," we should not listen to him, since the lessor may reply: "Tomorrow you may probably vacate it, and it will yield me nothing but weeds." Even if the lessee said: "I will plough it up at the end of my term," we should not listen to him. ‎[9] If one leased a field from another to sow it in barley, he may not sow it in wheat, since wheat exhausts the soil more than barley. If he leased it to sow it in wheat, he may sow it in barley; in pulse, he may not sow it in grain; in grain, he may sow it in pulse.— —
