Question

My friend is traveling abroad for Passover and is giving me the apartment for Shabbat and the first day of Passover. Who is obligated to check for chametz in the apartment, is it him and he should appoint me as his agent, or is it me? I should note that I will not be living in the apartment on the night of the 14th. If he needs to appoint me, how should the appointment be done and is there a specific wording? Thank you very much

Answer

Hello Rabbi

The person who will be using the apartment during the holiday is obligated to check for chametz.
