Question
The rental contract states that the lease is for one year, and upon entry, both the Hebrew and Gregorian dates were noted. Is the end date according to the Hebrew or Gregorian month, and in a leap year, is it considered a leap year?
Answer
If the payment was made according to the Gregorian calendar, then everything follows the Gregorian, and if according to the Hebrew, then everything follows the Hebrew. [Usually, the determining factor is whether the contract specifies a Hebrew or Gregorian date, but here both are mentioned, so it depends on how they conducted themselves].
