[FEN 11] Certain lessees may pay interest on half cost of erection11
Where any fence is erected under the provisions of this Act dividing any land occupied by any person holding under a lease or other agreement for a term not exceeding 10 years from any adjoining land, it shall be lawful for such tenant, instead of paying his or her half share of the cost of erecting such fence, to pay to the person who erected the fence, or to his or her successor in title, interest on such share at the rate of 10% per annum during such tenant’s term of occupation, provided that such tenant shall be liable to pay half the cost of repairs to such fence during the said term.
