“Decision” issued by Emperor Francis [Present-day Austria]: “[…] An Israeli, however, may only lease so much from a building, as is absolutely necessary for his own direct use, his housemates, and that of his business. […]” [Researcher’s note: While the Jewish-Patent of 1782 made is possible for Jews to chose a residence of their choosing, and the Royal Court Chancellery Decree of 1802 permitted Jews to freely select districts in which to live, other restrictions remained and/or were placed on Jews.]
