If the room offerings do not include forbidden services, then there is no harm in renting them for accommodation. However, it is not permissible to rent a room for committing a sin. It is safer to avoid working in this field. The previous salary is lawful as long as the benefit derived was permissible, and the assets purchased with it are also permissible.
