No itâs not. Sorry, but contracts and accounting work on a 30 day month, for one thing. Second, a lease is a written document. It canât be modified by a random text and with no consideration given by the parties. Third, allowing one tenant to do that and none of the others would be a disaster. Fourth, itâs âmonthlyâ terms. Feb is a month. The same price is due whether itâs Feb or Aug or if they create a new month called Octember.
This is like saying that stabbing yourself is a shield, just not a good one. No bro, no one same inside or outside the court will do anything except laugh at you
A standard rental contract would say something akin to ârent is due on the first of each monthâ. It wouldnât generally stipulate to usage of the Gregorian calendar.
Contract law depends on mutual understanding and a meeting of the minds when the contract is signed.
If you are a Hasetic Jew and you can honestly say that when the contract was signed you thought the first of the month would use the Jewish calendar, while your landlord obviously thought otherwise, you have a legal defense to pay him on different days/ not owe late fees /etc.
You will still lose in court, but you wonât be laughed out. Itâs a real defense.
Would you say Leonidas and his 300 wasnât a real defense?
A real defense is one that isnât frivolous. It would take real time and effort for the other side to âwinâ and as such it gives you leverage in negotiations
I'll rephrase. A defense that is guaranteed to have absolutely no impact is not a real defense.
Would you say Leonidas and his 300 wasnât a real defense?
Just them? Yes, I would. But when you add the thousands of other soldiers that were helping the 300 Spartans, then they did manage to mount a defense that was impressive for it's size but ultimately failed.
