Hello everyone,
I recently had a guest stay who broke many house rules and I am wanting to request some money from them. I was wondering how much I should ask
for total. They are no longer messaging me back and so I feel like they won’t accept anything I send them so hopefully air B and B will back me up. Here is what happened:
1) late check out by at least 45 minutes ($50) . I called and messaged them an hour before the 12pm checkout to remind them of when checkout was. I received no response so I headed to the condo at 12pm and noticed the key was not in the lockbox so I called The guest. She said she was out but her friend was still there. So i waited outside for her friend to check out....12:45pm goes by and still no key in the lock box. She then tells me her friend just left the condo ( but no sign of the key). I finally go into the condo around 2pm ( 2 hours after regular check out) using my own key to find the place a mess.
2) they did not return the key fob ($50) - they took it with them or lost it.
3) crack pipe left in the house so there was obviously drug use going on as well as some Burnt spoons and cigarette butts found in the garbage even though there was strict rules for no smoking ( typically $500.00 fine). We filed a police report regarding the drugs.
4) they broke the window handle ($50.00)
5) nail polish on the $1200.00 couch and on the kitchen counter
6) they stayed there three nights and there was about 5 large bags of garbage after I was done cleaning
7) It took me an extra 2.5 hours to clean the condo than a regular clean I charge 60 dollars a cleaning
😎 later I found out there was a third person staying there which was not mentioned when Haley initially booked which was proven in the text messages she sent me.
if you could help me out on how much you think we could ask for that would be great. The main thing is that I spent about 5 hours of my own time trying to get in and then to clean which was super annoying.
