So some Guests continue to clog the sink (kitchen) and toilets (various throughout the home) and it's costing us money.
Here's the deal.... We live on the property for months on end during the slow season, and NEVER have issues with the toilets or sink. But it seems that about every 3rd or 4th Guest we get a call for a clogged kitchen sink (it's ALWAYS something the renter has put down the sink drain that they're not supposed to, potato peels, STEAK BONES [yes, steak bones], etc.)
Should we put in our "RULES" section that Guests will be charged for clogging sinks and toilets, etc.?
I noticed some listings have this same exact notice regarding this issue: (They describe the Renter as the "RESIDENT")
" RESIDENT shall be responsible for keeping the kitchen and bathroom drains free of things that may tend to cause clogging of the drains. RESIDENT shall pay for the cleaning out of any plumbing fixture that may need to be cleared of stoppage and for the expense or damage caused by stopping of waste pipes or overflow from bathtubs, wash basins, or sinks. "
The couple of listings had do have this exact worded "warning" in their house rules, DO tend to get booked less (and they are both nice listings and have excellent reviews, are fairly priced , just booked less than other rentals).
Does anyone think adding this "rule" to my house rules is ...off putting ?
Should I add it to mine?
I don't want to turn Guests off, but then again, I'm sick of paying Plumbers!
Thoughts....
