Unlike a standard seller who may not give a discount to those who prepay, the Mishna permits a landlord or service provider to offer a discount to a client who pays upfront. Also, in certain cases, one may provide merchandise at a discount to those who pay upon delivery, as opposed to those who take it on credit.
Points to Ponder
• What is the logic to differentiate between a sale agreement and a rental or service agreement?
• Can one prepay for a rental that isn't yet available?
• When is it permitted to charge a higher rate for a credit sale?
• May one agree to a 2/10, Net 30 arrangement if he intends to pay on time?
