Question
Is there a chazaka (established right) regarding the place for lighting Hanukkah candles? We have been lighting for several years near the entrance to the building, and this year a neighbor came and took that spot. Do we have the right to tell him that this place is ours? There is no other place that is as mehudar (optimal).
And does a permanent resident have precedence over a tenant (even on a long-term lease)?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
There is no chazaka in this matter, and the one who took the place may light there.
