The Regulations of the Elected Officials, Written and Signed at the Bottom of the Page, [Dealing with] Matters and Arrangements About Apartments, Renting out Heated Rooms and Taking in a Lodger

[When] someone sells a house, the next-door neighbour has no right of "Bar Metzera"; only a joint owner of the house itself [has such a right]. Apart from that, the right of Bar Metzera is annulled. This is the right and proper thing to do in its cancellation and no judge should grant it.

From today it is forbidden to join two houses by breaking down the common wall to make a new entrance from the heated room to a bedroom or to add an apartment in this way. This total [ban] is imposed in order not to decrease the [amount of] housing. And all the more so is it totally forbidden to leave a heated room empty without tenants.

The rental for a heated room with two [additional] rooms is 80 zloties, [the rental for a heated room] with three rooms is 100 zloties, the rental for a heated room with four rooms is 120 zloties... Monday, 28th Tishrei, 5446
