Recently
Hangzhou Linping District Court
heard a case
because a neighbor changed the direction of the entrance door without permission.
Case involving nuisance exclusion disputes
Case Introduction
The plaintiff Li and the defendants Liu and Zhang are neighbors. When Liu and Zhang renovated their houses, because the houses were small, they designed the entrance door to open outwards in order to maximize the utilization of the area. Liu and Zhang sought the opinions of their neighbor Li, who was nearly seventy years old, before renovating. Li clearly expressed his disagreement, but Liu and Zhang still changed the entrance door to open outwards.
Li believes that Liu and Zhang changed the direction of the entrance door without authorization. When the entrance door is fully opened outward, it will cause the public passage to be narrow and pose a safety hazard to his passage. Therefore, the lawsuit was brought to the court, requiring Liu and Zhang to restore the entrance door to open inward.
Court Judgment
1. There are obstructive facts in this case
Liu, When Zhang\’s house was delivered, the entrance door opened inward. The two defendants changed the direction of the entrance door, which must comply with the corresponding national standards. Article 6.11.9 of the \”General Principles for Civil Building Design\” (GB50352-2019) of the Ministry of Construction of the People\’s Republic of China stipulates: \”When the doors opening to evacuation walkways and stairwells are fully opened, they should not affect the evacuation width of walkways and stairwells.\” China \”Residential Design Code\” of the Ministry of Construction of the People\’s Republic of China (GB500 96-2011) Article 5.8.5 stipulates: \”Doors that open outwards should not hinder public transportation and the opening of adjacent doors.\” In this case, the original and defendant families were relatively close to each other, and the public walkway between them was narrow. The defendant changed the door to open outwards, which would affect the passage of neighbors and prevent adjacent doors from opening, posing certain safety risks.

The resolution of rights conflicts between adjacent real estate owners should be based on the principles of conducive production and convenient life We adhere to the principles of solidarity, mutual assistance, fairness and reasonableness, adhere to the principle of being good to our neighbors, advocate empathy, and take into account the interests of all parties. In this case, when the two defendants communicated with the plaintiff about changing the direction of the entrance door before the renovation, the plaintiff made it clear that he did not agree. However, the two defendants only considered their own interests and insisted on changing the direction of the entrance door, which affected the passage of the plaintiff\’s elderly people and hindered the adjacent areas. The fact that the door is open is a hindrance.
At the same time, respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and a socialistIt is an important part of the core values of justice. Caring for and helping the elderly is the common responsibility of the whole society. In this case, the plaintiff Li is nearly 70 years old and has higher requirements for safety. The defendants Liu and Zhang, as neighbors of the elderly, should have a higher duty of care in handling neighbor relations.
