Question
The annual rent is 3000 shekels, and the contract ends on 20/2. He signed a contract for another apartment from 1/2, and to avoid losing 20 days, he wants to find a tenant for the next year. He found a tenant for 3000, but the landlord raised the rent to 3200. The landlord also claims he doesn't want children, and he found a couple with children. Can the landlord claim he doesn't want these tenants?
Answer
It is clear that regarding the 20 days, he can bring in a tenant at the price he received. On the other hand, after that, it is clear that the landlord can raise the price at his discretion, and it is also clear that he can accept children.
