Question

Hello, I bought an apartment with G-d's help. Before the purchase, we inquired with the owners if there was a storage room for the apartment, and they claimed there wasn't. We asked several times, and each time they answered that there was no storage. After we moved into the apartment, it turned out that previously the tenants had divided the building's shared area into storage rooms, and each tenant received a storage room. Now our sellers are trying to sell the storage room they own to another tenant in the building. In fact, they have indeed sold that storage room to that tenant. Does the storage room belong to the previous apartment owners, and can they indeed sell it to a third party, or does the storage room belong to the apartment as part of all shared areas belonging to the apartment?

Answer

Peace and blessings 

Answer from our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita:

The apartment owner has the right to sell the storage room separately.
