The usufructuary shall be obliged to make the ordinary repairs necessary on things given in usufruct.\nBy ordinary repairs are understood such as are required by the wear and tear produced by the natural use of things and which are indispensable for the preservation of such things. If the usufructuary shall not make them after being requested to do so by the owner, the said owner may make them at the expense of the usufructuary.\nHistory —Civil Code, 1930, § 428.
