When does a non-Jew living in a shared courtyard restrict the Jewish residents from carrying?
Synopsis
A non-Jew living in a shared courtyard does not automatically restrict carrying. The Mechaber rules restriction applies only when at least two Jews live in separate houses and restrict each other — at which point the non-Jew also restricts them. The Mishnah Berurah explains this is a rabbinic decree to discourage Jewish-Gentile cohabitation.
