#A door open to the street only permits that room and not rooms connected to it on other floors<ref>Knesset Hagedolah (Hagahot Tur EH 22:11) writes that a door that's open to the street only permits that room and not the upper or lower floors connected to that room. The Otzar Haposkim 22:9:5 quotes the Apei Zutrei 22:20 and Nichpeh Bkesef who agree.</ref> or even other rooms on that same floor.<ref>The Otzar Haposkim 22:9:5 quotes the Nidrei Zerizin 2:9 and Bet Shlomo OC 48 who write that rooms connected to a room open to the public are still subject to yichud, only the room that is open to the public itself is permitted. On the other hand, the Ezer Mkodesh seems to be lenient. Dvar Halacha 3:9 quotes this dispute and adds that the Bet Meir is strict but the Maharsham is lenient.</ref> | #A door open to the street only permits that room and not rooms connected to it on other floors<ref>Knesset Hagedolah (Hagahot Tur EH 22:11) writes that a door that's open to the street only permits that room and not the upper or lower floors connected to that room.

#Some poskim hold that yichud is only permitted in the area visible to the street but not to areas in the room that aren't visible from outside.<ref>Nitai Gavriel 32:5 writes that any spot in the room that isn't visible from the outside is forbidden.

====Neighbor with a Key==== | |||
# If a person asks a neighbor to come into his house at random times that works to void yichud. At night for this option to work some say it is necessary to have two neighbors to visit and some say that it doesn't work at all at night.<ref>Gan Naul 8:11. There he quotes Dvar Halacha p. 188 who says that giving a key to a neighbor and telling him to come and he actually comes is a heter of yichud. Rav Shternbuch in Teshuvot Vehanhagot 2:657:2 agrees. Gan Naul also quotes Rav Elyashiv (Kovetz Bet Hillel). Nitai Gavriel Yichud 5:6 advises giving the key to two neighbors. Teshuvot Vehanhagot 1:774 also mentions having two neighbors visit. Om Ani Choma CM 386 agrees. Nishmat Avraham 22:3 allows if the wife has a key. Gan Naul concludes with Rav Rasavi that if the neighbor doens't actually enter one should ask another neighbor.</ref> | |||
