What is the ruling on the rent if the usurper builds a house on the usurped land using his own materials?

Primary text

If the usurper builds a house using materials belonging to himself, he owes only the rent for the land itself, not for the building. This is because the land was usurped, but the building belongs to him, and he is not required to pay rent for his own property.
