Ruling: Regarding def’s status after he took out (almost all of) his property, the Maharam MiRutenberg (IV:833) says that even when someone rented a home to live in and moved out but left some belongings there, he is considered to be continuing the rental. This is even clearer in a case like this in which the main use of the warehouse was for storage. Regarding the idea that it was pr’s property, pl held def responsible because he claimed that def and pr were some type of partners, so that def is responsible for pr. Such a connection was denied and not proven or substantiated by pl.
However, def admits that he gave permission to pr to leave his belongings there and did not force him to remove them. The halacha is that when Reuven gives permission to Shimon to have him leave his animals in Reuven’s care, Reuven is responsible for damages they cause (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 396:8). If we combine this with the Maharam above it comes out that def is responsible for the fact that pr’s possessions are still there and are preventing pl from renting out the warehouse. It also does not matter that pl obstructed def, for a time, from moving his things because the rental went on in regard to pr’s wares.
Since pr’s items were removed only on Aug. 10 and this was done without prior arrangement and pl did not rent it out until Sept. 1, def has to pay until Sept. 1. This is because one needs advanced warning to know when he can make a new rental arrangement. Therefore, def has to pay for 5 months rent.

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.
