Question
Is there a halachic obligation to clean the room in the yeshiva before Passover? And what is the source?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is obligatory for every person above the age of mitzvot to ensure there is no chametz in their possession.
Therefore, each student must check that no chametz remains in the area available for their use in the yeshiva.
There are yeshivas that, in order to exempt themselves from the obligation of checking, revoke the students' right to use the premises for all the days of Passover, thus placing the entire area under the yeshiva's jurisdiction, allowing them to sell all the chametz.
