Question
I rented out an apartment, and one day the tenant called and said the air conditioner wasn't working. I told him to call a technician, and I would pay him. After a month, he called and said the technician didn't find the problem, so he called another technician, and then another. There were already 10 technicians who didn't find the problem, and it cost 10,000 shekels. Do I have to pay him all the money?
Answer
Hello,
You are only required to pay for the first technician. It was incumbent upon the tenant to ask you before continuing to bring more technicians.
