(Fol. 21) F. Sechorah, in the name of R. Huna, who in return quoted Rab, said: "One who dwells in the house of his neighbor [unoccupied and in an unsettled district], without the owner's permission, need not pay any rent, because the non-occupation causes damage, for it is said (Is. 24, 12) And the desolate house is smitten into ruins [therefore the owner of the house benefits from the occupation]." Said Mar b. R. Ashi: "I once saw [such a desolated house] which [was damaged and] looked as if gored by an ox."
