§ 1598. Payment of expenses

If the person who has the use of a thing belonging to another person consume all the fruits thereof, or if the person having the right of habitation shall occupy the entire building, he shall be under obligation to pay all expenses of cultivation, the ordinary repairs for the preservation of the property, and taxes, in the same manner as the usufructuary.

If he receives only a part of the fruits or occupies only a part of the building, he shall not contribute anything, provided that a part of the fruits and profits sufficient to cover the expenses and charges remain to the owner. If the said part be insufficient, the amount lacking shall be supplied by the party having the use or habitation.
