Question
If someone has received an apartment as a loan or rental, are they required to lock the door every time they leave the house for a short period during the day, or can they rely on being in a Charedi area where thefts are uncommon?
Answer
Shalom Rav
According to the instructions of our teacher, Rabbi, shlita, in a place where it is not customary to lock the doors for short exits, the apartment is rented with this understanding.
