# Someone who is a victim of theft can pardon the person who stole money from him by simply saying that he forgives him.<ref>Aruch Hashulchan 360:1, Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 92</ref> | |||
# If somebody owes you money, it is a mitzvah to gently tell him to repay the small debt.<ref>Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 93</ref> However, if he feels that the person will not constructively accept what he is being told, it is a kind thing to forgive him instead.<ref>Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 93 based on Rambam De'ot 6:9. see Shaar Hatziyun 606:8 who writes that one should forgive the person who wronged him even if it was intentional, and in turn Hashem will forgive you for the things you intentionally do wrong, as the Gemara in Rosh Hashana 17a writes that whoever forgoes the wrongs that are done to him, Hashem treats you accordingly. </ref> | |||

Zeh Neheneh Zeh Lo Chaser is only after the fact.<ref>Tosfot bava kama 20b, Tosfot bava batra 12b, Mordechai bava kama n. 16, Rama CM 363:6, Biur HaGra there, Pitchei Choshen Genevah 8:3. None of the sources quote someone who argues besides the Gra cites the Rosh and disagrees. Either way the Rosh is only potentially allowing it because he is watching the house and helping out but generally he agrees with Tosfot. Nodah Beyehuda CM 24 applies the rule even if the property can’t be sold. Pitchei Choshen discusses that perhaps that’s a difference between Tosfot and Mordechai and the Rama followed the Mordechai.</ref> | ||
