A partner’s share in the courtyard is decided by the amount of entryways between his house and the courtyard (more entrances means more traffic and use of the courtyard).Rav Chisda: Each partner receives 4 amos extending from his doorway; the rest of the courtyard is divided equally.This applies to a regular house which is expected to exist. Such a small house , however, will be demolished and is not entitled to any parcel of the courtyard. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
