Ruling: One cannot claim mekach ta’ut (misinformed consent) to things that he was or should have been aware of when making his agreement. This applies to the price, the arnona exemption, and the ability to fit in the furniture.
Regarding the sewage pump, the previous tenant confirms that it is possible to operate it in a manner that avoids all halachic questions. Def claims that he was unaware of this; pl claims he told him. It does not make sense that pl would invest in a system that enables strict Shabbat observance and not tell a renter who had made an issue of it.

Regarding the claim of agreement on partial payment, first, def contradicted himself on the amount they agreed to, and pl denies it totally. Also, it makes sense that if there were such an agreement, it was on the condition that def pay promptly, and to this point, def has not paid anything.
It is arguable whether def should have to pay for the loss of rental for the days the apartment was not rented or for the amount pl lost over the 10 months of the agreed rental. The latter is less money because for the remainder of the time, the new renter is paying a higher rent than def agreed to. Since the two agreed to a compromise that includes def’s financial difficulties, we definitely choose the latter system. Because of the sides’ special compromise request, we lower the sum even lower to 2,500 NIS on condition that def pay within two months. If he does not pay on time, he will have to pay 3700 NIS (without the special compromise) plus the beit din fee.
