The question emerges from the following point. Pictures from various occasions indicate that some damage took place from the time that def vacated the unit until pl took charge, as the uprooted front door enabled trespassing; a trespasser apparently damaged the unit. The Yad Ramah (Bava Batra 2b) obligates someone who, due to negligence in his own property, enabled thieves to steal from his neighbor’s property. The Rama (Choshen Mishpat 155:44) cites those who agree and disagree (Rosh) with the Ramah’s opinion, without deciding between them, and Acharonim disagree which to accept. However, even according to the Rosh, there is at least a moral obligation to pay, and our arbitration agreement authorizes beit din to levy payments according to its judgment even for moral obligations. Beit din obligates def in two thirds of its estimation of the damages even though it might have been done by others due to def’s actions to pl’s property.
Regarding improvements that def made, the rule is that if one makes improvements in another’s property without permission, and the owner would have had the improvements done at some point, the owner must pay their fair value (Shulchan Aruch, CM 375:1). A witness said that before the improvements, the unit was uninhabitable. The same is true when the improver did it after what appeared to be his purchase, but the purchase was nullified (ibid. 232:14). Def did not prove that he improved the unit by 67,000 NIS, but since he is obligated 56,550 NIS, he is believed enough to not pay that money.
We will finish off the final elements next time.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
