[If] one leased a field from another and he did not wish to weed [it], and he says to him: “What concern is it of yours, since I am paying you its rental?” We do not listen to him, since he can say to him: “Tomorrow you will withdraw from it, and it will grow weeds for me.”

[If] one leased a field from another and it did not produce —- if there is enough in it to put up a heap, he is obligated to cultivate it. Said R’ Yehudah: What kind of measure is a heap? Rather, if there is as much as was sown.

[If] one leased a field from another, and locusts devoured it or it was swept by storm —- if it is a widespread calamity, he may deduct from his rent; if it is not a widespread calamity, he may not deduct from his rent. R’ Yehudah says: If he leased it from him for money, in either case, he may not deduct from his rent.

[If] one leased a field from another for ten kors of wheat per year, [and] it was struck, he may pay him out of it. [If] its wheat was superior, he may not say to him: “I will buy from the market,” but he must give him out of it.
