Question

When is the time for checking chametz?

Answer

Lechatchila, every person should perform the mitzvah of checking chametz on Thursday evening, the night of the 14th of Nisan, before the stars come out. Therefore, a person traveling to a hotel on Thursday before the stars come out should take pieces of bread so that he can check chametz with a blessing in his hotel room. If he travels to the hotel on Thursday after the stars come out, he should check chametz in his home, and even if he sells his apartment, he should leave one room that he does not sell, so that he can perform the mitzvah of checking chametz there.
