Can I also air the beds on Sundays?

My husband and I are real "airing fanatics" and love to air our bedding at the open window. Now a neighbor has told me that this is not allowed. Is that true?

The house rules may prohibit the airing of bed linen on Sundays

In individual cases, the house rules may prohibit the visible airing of bedding or the hanging of laundry on Sundays. This includes hanging laundry (or bedding) by the window or on a rotary clothes dryer or on a line high up. However, nobody can prohibit you from hanging laundry in an area that is not visible, for example on a clothes horse that is shielded by the balcony railing. Incidentally, this is always permitted, even if a tenancy agreement generally prohibits drying laundry on the balcony (not just on Sundays). It is also permitted to install a privacy screen (for example, if the balcony only has a railing) or a parasol.
