Hello All!
I am grateful to find this post today... rather than reiterating that these are our homes we are sharing...I need some super practical advise. I am a new Host, started Feb. 14th this year. Up until now I have had the good fortune of hosting some amazing people from all over the world. Unfortunately, I cannot say that of my current guest. Just recently I opened my home to extended stays. My current guest reserved the room in my home for 28 days. My guest has treated me with disrespect since the first night, repeatedly hitting on me. Now since I have made it clear his advances are not welcome not are they included as part of his stay, he has resorted to insulting me. He repeatedly has called me into his room to adjust the air conditioner, close the blinds, bring him water, etc. Even when I have had company if my own, asked me to tell him what I am doing, when I will be home, wanting me to come home to give him a ride to go eat. All the while he lays in bed, ordering me around. He has called me fat, said my home is in a trashy neighborhood, called me stupid, and on top of this he has demanded a full breakfast even though my listing clearly states I offer a continental breakfast only. I'm concerned that I will lose Superhost status if I ask him to leave, not to mention his payment for his stay has already been applied to bills, etc. If there is something I can do besides simply leaving my own home and not answering the phone, I'm all ears!
