The answer

If it is customary for the tenant to benefit from the fruit-bearing trees or whatever is beneficial in the rented house without specific permission from the owner, then there is no harm in that. However, if it is customary for the tenant to only benefit from dwelling or what the owner has specified, then it is not permissible for him to benefit from anything other than that, and he must seek the owner's forgiveness, and the owner has the right to demand compensation.
