Ruling: [We saw in the past that based on a variety of doubts, beit din awarded pl 45% of his claim for the relevant time. Now we must determine the relevant time.]
The terminology of the clause of paying three-months’ rent after leaving early inconclusive regarding whether its mention of leaving is the time from which to count or a condition for additional payment. (Beit din believes that most such clauses count from the time of notification.) The logic is also inconclusive – three months can be an estimate of how long it takes to find a replacement renter (which would make def’s notification the determining point), or it can be a fair amount of compensation for lost rent revenue (which would make the date def left the determinant). In such cases, we say that the one who needs to use the contract to gain rights has to prove his case (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 42:10). Here, pl needs the clause to give him extra months’ rent, and he has failed to prove that it should be counted later than the time of notification.
Def claimed to have notified pl three weeks before leaving. Pl claims he does not remember receiving notification before she left – he will not say she definitely did not notify. In discussion of the order of events, def had a coherent, detailed explanation, whereas pl’s partial denial lacked logic (also see below regarding pl’s credibility). Therefore, beit din picked a date from which to count the three months, based on compromise, close to def’s claim.
A landlord with a clause to receive rent beyond the renter’s departure is required to try to find a new renter as soon as possible. Pl claimed to have tried and not succeeded, and beit din checked with him before the p’sak to see if and when he found one; he said he had not yet. Def went to apt and videoed a foreign worker who said he was in apt for a couple of weeks. Beit din did not accept pl’s explanation that the new renter was staying there on a trial basis (he would have had to have cleared that with beit din). Therefore, beit din ended the additional rent before the end of three months, and the matter hurt pl’s credibility.

Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
