THE FOUR SHOMRIM KOL HANA'AH SHELO MEISAH MACHMAS MELACHA APPLICATIONS OF MEISAH MACHMAS MELACHA THE GUIDELINES OF A SOCHER CHANGING THE USAGE OF A RENTED ITEM

Introduction

Borrowers and renters differ from regular guardians in that they take possession of the item for their own use. A borrower has the highest level of liability because his possession of the item is solely for his own benefit. A renter has a lower level of responsibility because the owner also receives a benefit in the form of rent.

Points to Ponder

• If a lender receives a small amount of benefit, is the borrower still responsible for onessim? • What are the parameters of maisa machmas melacha, damage or loss through the regular use of the item, that would exempt even a borrower? • Is a renter required to actively guard the item as if he was a paid guardian? • Suppose a renter uses the item in a way that isn't its regular use, is he considered a sholaiach yad and responsible for onessim?
