Question

Shalom Rav

In your opinion, if someone keeps a kosher home and rents out a room in their home as an airbnb bedroom , would it be OK for rental guests to bring food ie a non kosher sandwich into the rented bedroom or would that somehow contaminate the entire house

Thank you

Answer

 

Hello & Greetings

Even a person who makes sure to eat only kosher food can rent a room in his apartment to a person who may bring non-kosher food into the room, there is no prohibition to keep non-kosher food in the apartment.

In particular, if you bring a sandwich, etc., the tenant can eat anywhere, without the assistance of your apartment, so there is no reason to avoid renting the room to a person who might bring a non-kosher sandwich there, etc.

However, the landlord must take great care after every tenant, to clean the room thoroughly of any food residues, so as not to cause an obstacle in eating non-kosher food.

Welcome

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him.
