Who needs to make an Eruv Tavshilin?
Normally, the head of the household makes an Eruv. But what happens when there are several household heads in the house?

When several families are staying together during the holiday, is each family required to make its own Eruv or is one Eruv sufficient for everyone?
In general, each family head makes his own Eruv even if he is living or temporarily staying in a home together with other families. This applies when he is conducting himself as a homeowner and head of his family i.e., he has his own food supply which he has purchased for himself, and makes his own preparations.
However, if all the families staying in the house are guests of the homeowner and are being hosted and fed by him at his expense, only the homeowner makes an Eruv and everyone else, including his guests, may bake and cook while relying upon this Eruv. This also applies to married children of the homeowner who are living in his home.
