Description | The council has decided to rent out the old library (coffeehouse?) to the khawâja Jalîl Al Jamâl for the period of one whole year, from the beginning of Muharram (1)316 until the end of Dhî Al Hijja (1)316, for a rent amounting to 55 golden French liras, to be paid in three installments. Twenty liras in advance, after three months twenty liras, and six months after Muharram (1)316 fifteen liras. And if the tenant should be late with any of the installments, the council will have the choice to evict him or let him stay. In order to certify this, this directive (? mazbata) was given on the 11th of Mayis (1)314. If he is evicted because of non-payment of the first or the second installment, he will not have the right to request (reimbursement) of what he paid in addition, and when (the store) is rented to someone else (?). For this reason, the missing amount which will result (from this situation) will be the responsability of the tenant who has committed to pay. And according to these conditions this rental was done on the 11th of Mayîs (1)314 (23rd of May 1898). [8 signatures] |
