Midterm Airbnb tenant using too much electricity

[Jason Denny]

So I messed up. I have a tenant that booked my Airbnb in the Dominican Republic for 6 mos.  Just got the first electric bill and it’s a bit over $300 which I didn’t calculate into the price for the $1000 per month rent. In other words the mid term tenant is running the ACs all day long which isn’t what you do in the Caribbean unless you’re at a resort. She’s American and I assumed her husband(who is Dominican)would know that you run the fans during the day and ACs in the bedrooms at night. Which is what I originally calculated for. I know I most likely have no recourse other than to pound dirty until they’re out but if there’s any helpful advice out there from more experienced investors I’ll gladly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. 

Thanks in advance

Can you get a smart thermostat installed? Not sure how you would go about getting it shipped and installed, let alone with international internet connectivity, but if it works it would allow you to set some guardrails.
