Entering a Hotel Without Permission
Question
A guest of a family staying in a hotel rented by a Jew, who in principle does not allow guests to enter, is someone who entered and did nothing in the hotel considered to have committed theft? After all, this benefits and does not harm, etc.
Answer
Hello,
It is forbidden to use a person's object or place without their permission, and the user is committing theft.
The rule of "this benefits, etc." applies only after benefiting, whether one needs to pay.
