Well, ask them to pack up and leave. Other guests, Airbnb or not may be on their way.
It makes a lot of sense to use your House Rules and state the convenience fees for the guests who wish to stay past the listed check-out time.
No one likes the fees. Yet, in this time and age, the fees have become a necessity. You want to offer a very competitive price that will cover you good accommodation. Factoring more into this is simply unfair to those who are purchasing your standard service as listed.
And for the guys who wish to check out late, and this happens to be possible on that particular day, there is a reasoable fee that everybody who feels that his additional comfort is worth something will gladly pay.
I have just had a guest request to stay till 9pm? My check-out time is the generous 12 noon... A small fee will make the guest understand that we cannot really offer anything for free. And it will help the host understand that he is not being taken advantage of either.
