Does a Jewish courtyard resident who left before Shabbat to stay elsewhere (without intending to return on Shabbat) restrict the other residents' eruv?
Synopsis
When a Jewish resident leaves his home before Shabbat with no intention of returning on Shabbat, the principle of 'dirah b'lo b'alim' (an ownerless dwelling) applies, and he does not restrict the other residents. The key factor is his mental state of disengagement from his dwelling.
