Short Term Rentals - Obsessions

Ken Latchers

Posted

The following are obsessions I see from owners about running their STRs. They gross tens of thousands in revenue, but go into a rage (Baba Yaga?) when a few dollars is at risk. The law of averages says that there will always be those on the higher end of the scale. This is usually followed by "how can I collect or how can I prevent it?" 

My philosophy is ignoring everything unless it is extreme. it isn't worth the higher blood pressure or the bad review risk. 

(Others? Thoughts?) 

They're running the air conditioner  / heat too much !

They overstayed by 30 minutes. How can I clean?

They're using too much internet! ( not talking about satellite owner here) 

They using too much electricity!

They brought an extra guest! 

They did $50 worth of damage!

The place was dirty, it took me an extra hour or two!

They left me a 4-star review. Don't they understand?
