7 ‎[1] ‎[2] If a man rented his house to another for a year, and it became a leap-year, the advantage of an extra month is gained by the tenant. If the lease was made by the month, the benefit of the extra month accrues to the lessor.— — ‎[3] ‎[4] ‎[5] If a man leased an orchard, or if it was mortgaged to him, for ten years, and it dried up during the term of the lease, the dead trees should be sold and land should be purchased for the price realized from the sale. The lessee or mortgagee may enjoy its fruit products until the end of the lease or the mortgage. Neither the creditor nor the debtor may use the trees that dried up or were cut, since they would constitute a form of usury.
