Question
In our building there is a tenant who rents an apartment, and he collects objects from the street and fills the entire staircase up to the roof with cardboard boxes. The residents complain that this exceeds reasonable use of the common area (he suffers from hoarding disorder). It should be noted that the owner of the apartment had him sign in the contract that he may not place boxes in the common area, but in practice he does place them there. Are we allowed to remove his boxes, of course after giving prior notice?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
It is permitted to remove them from the common area.
