If a homeowner rents or lends multiple houses in a courtyard and retains items that cannot be moved on Shabbat in each house, do the tenants restrict him (or each other)?
Synopsis
When the owner retains immovable items in each rented unit, the tenants are treated as his guests and need no eruv relative to him. Key disputes: whether this applies when other courtyards residents exist, and whether movable items suffice.
