It has long been the law in this jurisdiction that a life tenant is required to use ordinary care in keeping buildings which are a part *133of the estate from going to decay, but is not required to expend extraordinary sums. See Wilson v. Edmonds, 24 N.H. 517, 545 (1852); see also Burke v. Millikin, 69 N.H. 501, 502, 45 A. 401, 401 (1898). The lease agreement, however, contains language requiring the defendant to use “extraordinary” care in maintaining the leased property.
