Is it permissible for the Vice Chairman of the Board and former resident engineer to impose the retention of the doorman's aggressive son as the building's doorman, despite an urgent need for a qualified doorman, and is this consistent with the ruling of religion, especially given the availability of alternative housing for the doorman's family? And what is the ruling on one of the board members clarifying the facts to the residents through available means, and is it forbidden to evict the abusive doorman's son and his family from public housing? And what is the ruling on residents abdicating their responsibility in confronting this situation?

If the building is jointly owned or leased, its residents must consult with each other, and no one should monopolize decision-making. They should deal with kindness and good faith to achieve common interests and avoid conflict. It is advisable to address the matter amicably through the building's management committee, benefiting from everyone's opinions, including those of women. If understanding cannot be reached, it is recommended to resort to the judiciary to settle the matter.
