The plaintiff shall only be entitled to recover damages for withholding the property for the term of three years next preceding the commencement of the action, and for any period that may elapse from such commencement to the time of giving a verdict therein, exclusive of the use of permanent improvements made by the defendant.
When permanent improvements have been made upon the property by the defendant, or those under whom he claims, holding under color of title adversely to the claim of plaintiff, in good faith, the value thereof at the time of trial, not exceeding such damages, shall be allowed as a set-off.
