Commentary for Gittin 158:1

והא דאמר רב יהודה אמר שמואל לא יעמוד אדם בגג זה ויקלוט מי גשמים מגגו של חבירו שכשם שדיורין חלוקין מלמטה כך דיורין חלוקין מלמעלה

The third is the rule laid down by Rab Judah in the name of Samuel; A man should not stand on one roof and gather rain water from his neighbour's roof, because just as dwellings are distinct below so they are distinct above. This applies to Sabbath, but in regard to a Get the decisive factor is whether the owner is particular, and to this extent men are not particular.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And if he lends her one roof for receiving the Get, this is held to include the next adjoining to it.
