A non-Jew who left his belongings
Question
Shalom and blessings.
A Jew rented out his apartment to a non-Jew, and after the latter left the apartment he forgot some of his belongings there. After some time they were lost by other tenants who came to the apartment. Does the landlord have any obligation toward the non-Jew?
Answer
Shalom.
There is no obligation of guarding property for a non-Jew, therefore it is permitted to make use of these items.
