How many rooms are they taking? How many people? Are they paying for a closing lady for their rooms? I would say at least 1000 per week but I need more details...

The person is a good friend. She asked if her child and its family could stay by us for the whole of Pesach, just for sleeping, and asked what she should pay.
If it is just one or two nights, and not during Pesach, which is kind of stressful, for sure I would not even dream of taking any money.
The whole of Pesach (and possibly a few days before) is kind of long.
I am unable to work at present as I have special needs children who can not be in regular school for regular hours (I do not want to out myself by giving more details). After paying tuition for those children who are BH in school, mortgage and food, there is nothing left of my husband's salary. I do menial jobs in order to make $$$ when I can.
So I am kind of happy that she offered to pay, I will iyH ask her to pay directly to the children's mosad.
I do not know when it would happen that I would need to ask her to have our family stay in her home. We are not from frum backgrounds and do not have family who come to stay often - if they do stay, they fit in the guest rooms.
I hope those details help a bit.
Should I just say "whatever you are comfortable with" and give her the zelle of the mosad?
That seems like the most sensible and pareve advise so far

Yes I think the best idea is say to pay whatever you feel comfortable and let her pay the place directly.

We BH have two very nice spare bedrooms and a bathroom in our basement and our neighbour asked if they could stay with us just for sleeping, as she has other family staying by her, and what she should pay us for them staying here. Those rooms do not need a deep clean as we never bring food out of kitchen or dining room. She said they will only need to sleep here, so we are not entertaining or cooking extra meals, etc. |
I would not think to charge a neighbor or good friend for hosting family in a guest bed room although maybe it’s different since she offered. To me it’s one of those things people typically do as a chessed and you get a big gift for the person who does it. In most out of town cities, it’s pretty typical to ask a favor like this around yom tov time . I like the idea of telling them to pay whatever they are comfortable with better than giving them an amount. Obviously having a big family over is a huge inconvenience, especially with it being pesach, it’s just one of those favors that people typically don’t charge money for.
