We perpetually establish […] that no one is entitled to sell his neighborhood status to any foreigner without having first informed the councils about his purpose and the reason for the sale […] and, in any case, he is not allowed to sell it for more than 10 florines, and, when the villages had given their consent to the sale, they [the villages] are entitled to confiscate [the sold neighbourhood status] within one year and one day [after the sale] according to the laws of the kingdom.
