Dog hair everywhere even on my brand new sofa.Wife called Airbnb to see how to handle this since we are new and have had great recent reviews, since they obviously busted our house rules having more then max 6 guests, violated our no pet policy, and late checkout.So Airbnb gave us an $85 cleaning credit back to us, which I was shocked they would do.

A family of 6 with 2 two pets is a carpet lifecycle shortener compared to a single widow in her 60s who spends most of her retirement on cruises.Cleaning: I've noticed that regular professional cleaning really extended carpet life, even with the turnover impact, compared to my messier long-term tenants.

  $500 fine if tenant has a pet without notifying landlord.3. 

You can also try pouring boiling water over the roots to kill it if you are worried about pets or kids.
