Question
Hello and blessings to the esteemed Rabbi, shlita, On our floor in the building, there are four neighbors. For years, we have been placing baby strollers in an empty niche near the elevator, with the quiet agreement of all the tenants. Recently, a new neighbor joined, and he posted a note claiming that the use of the niche is not with his consent, that the area is public, and it greatly disturbs him. I would like to ask: Does he have the right to prevent us from continuing to use the niche as a place to store strollers? May you be blessed with mitzvot, and thank you very much for the response!
Answer
Hello
If the use of the space obstructs passage, the new neighbor can object.
If it does not clearly obstruct, in a gray area, one follows the majority of the tenants on the floor.
