Question
Rent without a contract, and after eight months he leaves the apartment on the same date he entered. In his opinion, he paid for each month at the beginning, and the payment was rounded for all months. On the other hand, the landlord claims that since according to the Hebrew date the next month started a few days earlier, he needs to add for the additional days. The tenant argues that since there is no contract, and the landlord demanded the money at the beginning of the Gregorian month, the entire calculation is according to the Gregorian calendar and not the Hebrew one?
Answer
Since the payment is made according to the Gregorian month, there is no need to add anything.
