You’re right, there’s no way to prove that they knowingly violated the smoking rule and there’s no point in starting an argument now. I shouldn’t have checked the smoking allowed box.
I could have sworn that it said something about “no smoking anywhere on the property” somewhere, which is something one could expect in some states, like California, where people are likely to call 911 if they see someone smoking outside in a wide open space, imagine they smell smoke coming from a neighbor’s apartment, or see someone carrying an unlit cigarette.
I didn’t want to be that **bleep** about it.
I also shouldn’t have let Airbnb convince me to offer a discount that would allow someone to rent for a month at a lower price than it would have cost them for two weeks. They’re still hinting that we’ll be uncompetitive unless we offer a 49% discount for a month or more.
As for the lost remote control, it’s one of those things that make me want to strangle someone, but I guess I just need to learn to expect it. I lose my own from time to time and have found it in places like the refrigerator once or twice.
