Ruling: 1. From pl’s comments during the hearing, it is clear that at the time he did the repairs, he had no plans of charging def, commenting that pl and def were so close that just as one would not charge his son, pl would not charge def. When one does a service for another with the intention of it being for free, it is like giving a present, and one cannot charge later (Netivot Hamishpat 12:5). His claim that he changed his mind now that they had a fight is exactly what we are concerned about when someone makes a late claim for payment (Terumat Hadeshen 317). Therefore, there is no payment even if pl did not promise and even if the damage was not his responsibility.
2. When one has an open-ended rental agreement, either side can end it with 30-days’ notice (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 312:7). However, in this case, throughout the seventeen years of rental, all the written contracts and oral agreements covered a year. If def had claimed that this past agreement was for shorter or left open, there would be what to investigate. However, def’s excuse was that he received permission to leave when he did, not that there was never an understanding of a year’s rental (which he did not prove). Therefore, def is bound to fulfill the oral or assumed rental agreement until the time it ceased, naturally or by agreement (ibid. 1). This applies both to the rent and the other expenses.
3. A renter who supplies appliances for the rental apartment is permitted to remove them before leaving. There seems to be agreement that various fluorescent lights that were in the property when def entered, broke during the seventeen years of occupancy. Since the contract states that pl cannot charge def for that which broke during normal usage, def does not have to pay for the no-longer-present fluorescent lights.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
Ekev DANCE FOR ISRAEL- FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Parshat Eikev
Description: The 7 Haftarot we read after Tisha B'Av ("Shiva D'Nichemta") surely get us excited that they're coming TRUE, and awaken us to yearn, dance & join the return to Zion! The short article also deals with the problems and solutions facing the American Jewish community as discussed at a recent panel, as well as the question why Jews come from America to Israel to help when we face problems, but Israelis don't come to aid Jews in America when they face anti-Semitism.
