PEH380
Hirsch Summary
Someone rented a house from the Jewish community for a year and paid the rent in advance. When rents became expensive, the community demanded either additional payment or eviction. If he chose to vacate, the community would refund the portion of the rent that corresponded to the remainder of the year. Isaac ben Jacob Henriquez Faro declared the contract unalterable. [The community reserved the unilateral right to rescind the contract, a privilege only held by the Temple in Jerusalem.]
