What is the status of an oven and a millstone regarding renting to a non-Jew for Shabbat use?
Synopsis
An oven is treated like a bathhouse (forbidden to rent out) because it is not customarily given on a percentage basis. A millstone is treated like a field (permitted) because it is customarily given on a percentage basis. However, local custom determines the category.
