I am not paskening - but in the case where someone owns a an apartment Rav
Shlomo Zalman Auerbach does advocate putting on Tefilin. If a person lives
in the diaspora, and comes to Israel  for all 3 regalom RSZA says he should
keep the second day as if he is an Israeli - even if he occasionally does
not make it over - in which case he would hold 2 days in the Diaspora.
I know of other similar cases where RSZA told people visiting to put on
Tefilin. RSZA does use the Chacham Tzvi a "snif" -see Minchat Shlomo 1:16,
Yom Tov Sheni Kihilchato page 195 note 8.
If you do wish do know how I pasken, or want a review of the topic, you can
