Uniqueness
Hello,
If I need to do something for research with someone and the door is closed but I think other people can get in (you need some kind of card to get in), is there anything special about that?
I saw that there is a Rashba who says that a closed and unlocked door has no yichud in it and they say that it could only be a branch of lenience, but I thought that perhaps there is a permit of Trid in her work here. Is this true in this case? I saw that there are some who want to say that there is a disagreement among the Rishonim whether the prohibition of yichud is a self-prohibition or is it just a distancing from fornication, if it is a self-prohibition then apparently this case is forbidden, right? In short, what is the Rabbi’s opinion? (This is a consultation and I am of course not bound by what the Rabbi will answer)
I think the criteria here are not formal. Even if the Rashba or anyone else determines that a closed door is good or bad, it is only their assessment of the fear of offense or reflection. And this is true even if the prohibition of yichud is personal, since for this method too, the fear of offense defines the prohibition of yichud even if it is not the reason for it (and this is evidence that when there is no fear, there is no prohibition of yichud). Therefore, it depends on your assessment of these fears. If you have no fear, there is no prohibition. A person who guards his soul will set up fences and boundaries.
In your opinion, are all the laws of yichud, such as yichud with two people, in the city in the field, during the day and at night, with her husband in the city, etc.? Also, the criteria are informal and everything depends on a person's assessment? Is there some clear criterion that the Sages forbade, namely, a person who is convinced that even in complete yichud he will not be prohibited, is yichud permissible for him?

In a private house with, for example, 2 floors with many roommates (5 or more roommates), is there some composition (i.e., number of men and number of women) where men and women are allowed together? It's just not always easy to find the same sex, and then there are empty rooms that the payment for falls on the person in the house, and this can add up to quite a bit of money.
In principle, you shouldn't be alone with a woman. There's nothing special about an apartment or house where someone else could enter at any moment. But I don't think that's the case in your case, because there are hours or days when you might be alone with someone else without anyone expected to enter.
Hello,
Thanks for the answer.
If I explain the situation to the neighbor and bring him a key and tell him he can come in whenever he wants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without knocking, does that solve the situation? And if not, is there another solution?
Thanks
It's hard to say anything clear here. He won't really go in, because he has no business there. I think it's problematic. If there were a separate unit in this house with a separate entrance, that would solve the problem.
