Partial Payment of Building Maintenance Fees for an Apartment Outside the Stairwell
Question
We live in an apartment building. The entrance to our apartment is not from the building—that is, not from the stairwell—but from the middle of the entrance path to the building, before the actual entrance to the building. In other words, we do not use the entrance or the stairwells. Likewise, we do not use the elevator. We have a parking space in a shared parking lot, which we reach through the stairwell. The building committee agrees that there should be a reduced payment. The building maintenance fee is 150 NIS—how much of that do we need to pay?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
You should pay at most one-third.
And in your case, no more than 50 NIS.
