Common walkway. Not private.
Guest decides to block it without permission.
Owner notices that the common walkway has been blocked using what? Whatever it is, owner doesn’t like it.
Owner erects his own barrier on his own property. Possibly because residents in the other half of the duplex are complaining. Now there is no shared walkway.
How is this a privacy issue?
Guest’s best option is to cancel remaining three weeks and leave if this does “not work” for them.
Maybe guest can find a rental that will allow him to block common areas for the use of his dogs.
