If a bathhouse is in the Jew's private residence and only household members use it, is renting it to a non-Jew permitted?
Synopsis
The Rema permits a private bathhouse used only by household members, provided those members know it has been rented to a non-Jew. The acharonim debate whether this applies only when the bathhouse is inside the residence or also when it is publicly visible.
