I own a housekeeping service in Las Vegas NV. I was hired by a host to clean 5 out of 11 properties he has advertised on Airbnb. These places are not just misleading, but they are dangerous, dirty, bug-infested, electrical issues, and worst of all unsanitary. It started with the 1st property. i saw cockroaches. I called him right away and he gave me an excuse the exterminator was coming out. The 2nd property had no electricity on the 2nd floor but 3 extension cords running up the stairs. A HUge note on the dryer saying DO NOT USE DRYER MAY CATCH FIRE. No smoke detectors. called him again. "Electrician is coming out" just do what I hired you for. Which was to be EXACT. DO NOT CLEAN, DO NOT SWEEP, MOP FLOORS. ONLY REPLACE LINENS ON BEDS SPRAY FEBREEZE TAKE OUT ANY TRASH.. The 3rd property did not have extra linens, I immediately put them into the washing machine, went to the 4th property ( 3 mins away) This was by far the worst. I did not want to even walk in there. broken furniture, holes in walls, walls were black with dirt. tub n shower so disgusting. I almost got sick. I called him again and said no way Shame on you. There were no linens to replace dirty ones. He told me " JUST PUT OLD ONES ON BED SPRAY FEBREEZE". No way I could not morally, ethically do this. The mattress pads had blood on them. He showed up at this property and fired me. did not pay me to state the obvious. BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT MONEY. I contacted AIRBNB they did nothing. Told me to contact local code enforcement. and I'd have to take him to civil court. What's sad is that somebody is going to spend their hard-earned money thinking they are getting a nice home. I'll actually be surprised if this post makes it through. I've written it a dozen times.
