Question
A person came specifically from abroad to Jerusalem and rented an apartment with a sukkah for Sukkot. The renter did not check the roof and spent the entire holiday in the sukkah covered by a roof. Does he need to pay the rent?
Answer
Shalom Rav
He is obligated to pay the full price.
Since it is common to cover the sukkah before Sukkot to prevent rain, wind, etc., the renter should have checked if the sukkah was kosher.
