Question

We have a balcony on the second floor, and on the first floor, there is a yard around the balcony. We want to cover part of the balcony with a canopy, which will result in rainwater dripping into the neighbors' yard in winter. According to Halacha, do we need to ask their permission for the slope to be towards them?

Answer

Shalom Rav

You need to ask permission from the neighbors downstairs.
