The usufructuary shall inform the owner where considerable repairs need be made for the preservation of the property. He shall not himself make such repair unless he rendered them necessary in particular by failing to maintain the property since the usufruct originated.
The owner shall not be bound to make considerable repairs on the property. Where the owner decides to make considerable repairs, the usufructuary shall accept the inconvenience arising therefrom. In making the repairs, the owner shall have regard to the interests and convenience of the usufructuary.
