We hold that the aforementioned work is permissible. As long as the hotel rents rooms for a permissible purpose, there is no sin upon you for the transgressions committed by the tenants, such as drinking alcohol. However, if you assist in lodging a man and an unrelated woman in a room, and you are aware of it, then this is not permissible. But if you are unaware that they are unrelated, then there is no blame upon you.
