Question
I was on a recent trip to Orlando and my family wanted to carry from room to room in the hotel. The hotel did rent timeshares which is generally like 1-2 weeks of leangth... the furniture is presumably from the hotel:
a) is that considered many owners?
b) do i have to be concerned for longer renters and what length would make a difference?
c) how could we rectify situation eruv wise?
d) bedieved can you carry neccesities i.e. kids or food from room to room without that eruv?
Answer
If the heavy furniture in the private rooms belongs to the owners of the hotel, then in the hotel building no eruv is neccessary.
