And if you make it a quid pro quo, don't you run the risk of violating the OTA's policy of paying to alter reviews? 

The guests have a credit card on file and your policy should allow you to charge for damages or excessive cleaning.

But I also don’t know of any appliance shop with no return policy.

@Apurv Asthana I usually keep high deductibles and low premiums on all my policies since I wouldn't file a claim unless absolutely necessary...usually I can get things repair at good pricing. 

I guess my problem with being too up front about seeing their place is that I don't feel like I'm in a position of power right now to decline people since it's hard enough to find people that I want to even get to that point in the application process in the first place, but I have to snap out of that mindset and have to instead come from a place where I make them believe that I have a lot of other applicants and that it's my standard policy and it's something they'll have to go through if they want my place.....ESPECIALLY if I decide to only take 1st & security from them rather than 1st/last/security.Thanks again!

I posted several blowing holes in every new variant of this scheme you dreamed up.I used to build depreciation amortization tables for billions of dollars of assets, was head of balance sheet policy (large chunk of which was amortization) at a Fortune 50 company, and am currently a data scientist doing math literally all day.

You can also add Cash Value Life Insurance policy and Business Credit to your list of options.

Are there dogs in the yard when you have a no-pet policy?
