<<66. If one owns, or rents an office, or a second home, one should
L'chatchilah do a Bedikah at that location on Thursday evening.
However, if it will be a great difficulty to do the Bedikah one may
rent the home/office to a non-jew for Pesach along with a sale of any
Chometz in that location. Shulchan Aruch w/Mishnah Brurah 433:5MB23,
436:MB32>>

For those peons who don't have their own business but work for someone
else how does one  "rent the home/office to a non-jew" ?
Can I rent my office in the university/work to a nonJew? Does it make
a difference if the owner of the business is Jewish? How about if
I share the office with others?
