Using a landing that bothers a neighbor visually
Question
Shalom.
I want to place a shoe cabinet outside my apartment door in the stairwell. The neighbor opposite objects, even though the cabinet does not block the passageway at all but only bothers him visually. May he object to this?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
The neighbor may object, since it is not customary to place such a cabinet in the stairwell.
