Two partners - business partners and/or neighbours who share land - must be careful to observe any vows not to benefit from each other's shared properties. The Gemara discusses cases where a third party is affected by potential transactions. The rabbis also consider cases where a friend is affected by a vow that another person does not benefit from one's land.
When land is affected by a vow between two partners, the Rabbis want to ensure that there is enough room for each party to access only his/her own portion. If not, they go so far as to suggest that a person should sell their land before breaking a vow. In some situations, the courtyard in question would be part of a synagogue. This is discussed.
The daf ends with a discussion of ownership. If a person is collecting rent from a property, s/he may be permitted to retain a portion of that income. Maintaining a yearly rental fee seems to be permitted as well.
