[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.
