Question
Shalom.
A tree that grew near a building caused dampness and a leak in one of the tenants' apartments. The neighbors cut down the tree, but the leak problem has still not been solved, since the wall has already been weakened by the tree. Are the neighbors obligated to repair the leak?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
They are exempt from paying (compensation).
