Question
My neighbor says he likes my sukkah so much, he has offered to trade his with me for mine. He showed me his and I actually like his better than mine because it is more spacious. He likes the material mine is made of. I am not badly attached to my sukkah. I got it several years ago from someone who was giving it away. I actually like this trade. Does Halacha permit this? One of my concerns is that either of us could be violating the tenth commandment by coveting a neighbor’s property, even if we both agree to this trade.
