Instead of denying them, can we refer them directly over to the owner for them to sign a lease with the owner who is willing to effectively manage the contract, payment and relationship BUT would still want to retain us (albeit for a lower fee) to deliver ONLY guest and property care activities (guest communications, organizing cleaning, lawn and pool care etc).
