Rabbi Gafni Proposes Law Allowing Installation of Shabbos Clock in Stairwell Without Neighbors' Consent

By Eliezer Rauchberger

MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni tabled a law that would allow a resident of a building to install a Shabbos clock or other device to light common areas or stairwells with or without the neighbors' consent as long as they are not required to participate in the cost. The law would probably allow installing a Shabbos generator to light the common areas, as well.

Existing property law stipulates that apartment owners in commonly-held buildings (condominiums) must pay their part in maintenance expenses for shared property and that any changes to it require the consent of all residents. The proposed legislation would change the law by not requiring consent if the cost of installation is assumed by the resident who elects to install the device.
