Commentary for Bava Batra 119:3
אימא סיפא אלא אם רצה בונה את החדר לפנים מביתו ובונה עלייה על גבי ביתו והלא מרבה עליו את הדרך אמר רב הונא מאי חדר שחלקו בשנים ומאי עלייה אפתאי:
IF A MAN TAKES A ROOM IN ANOTHER [ADJOINING] COURTYARD, HE SHOULD NOT MAKE AN ENTRANCE TO IT IN A COURTYARD WHICH HE SHARES WITH OTHERS. What is the reason? — Because he brings too many visitors [through the courtyard].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Presumably he builds the additional rooms for letting purposes.

Tosafot on Bava Batra
THESE PEOPLE ARE WORTHY OF HAVING THE DIVINE PRESENCE REST ON THEM. It is interpreting the end of the verse, where it says, "The spirit of God rested on him/it."
