Ruling: Beit din accepts pl’s claim for rental payment until Dec. 31, not Dec 3. Lack of payment is a basic breach of contract, which justifies termination of the rental, and pl had the right to set the date for the end of the rental. Once it was set, if def wanted to leave earlier, they were required to give thirty days’ notice, no less that a renter who is living without a contract that states a specific time (based on Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 312:7).
Payment for lost revenues after Dec. 31 can only be based on claims of damage, not of agreement, as the rental agreement was over.Beit din rejects this claim, as pl had every opportunity to prepare to find another renter, and the fact that he did not succeed is too indirect to obligate def.
There is no evidence that pl will not be able to demand money from his neighbor because of the delay in reporting the leak. The only circumstance, a more expensive paint job, is not considered a direct enough damage to obligate def. In general, and according to their contract, def should paint after leaving, and they are to pay 2,500 shekels, as the normal cost of painting.
Regarding va’ad bayit payments, def’s unsubstantiated claims about problems with the neighbors are insufficient to make it necessary for pl to pay them instead of def. Since pl presented receipts of his payment, def has to reimburse pl for the 2,000 shekels he paid.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
