Because of this, they have changed their fee structure on me two times in the past two years2) They don't have back up cleaners so when the cleaner can't clean, they block off my calendar3) They do not have easily legible financial statements and do not provide 1099s 4) They have made decisions that have required my money without consent5) They block off check-ins on Sundays6) They are not great with technology - though they try to use hostfully to list on many platforms, I will frequently see that my listing is not up on VRBO for example.

Steam cleaned the carpets, etc, and he determined there was no damage.

As a newbie here, my greatest challenge is consistent, reliable, high quality, detail-oriented cleaning.

I have properties in the city that I allow pets bc I know those tenants will be required to clean up after them per city laws.

We rent single family homes, so we have a conversation about yard maintenance, snow removal etc - have you don't this before, do you have the tools etcI also bring up house cleaning questions, by telling them we had a tenant who did not own a vacuum cleaner, did not know how to run a dishwasher, had a mess in the basement etc - and then see how they respond.That is a non-offensive way to talk about house cleaning and you'd be surprised how different the responses are.

Find out what a typical nightly rate is for your area (not what air bnb charges, the actual nightly rate the owner will receive not including the cleaning fee).

If it were me, I would get them out now so you can clean/renovate during the winter and get it on the market in early Spring.

The numbers will be lower, but yes you won't be waiting to see bookings come through and you won't have to clean rooms (takes us about 10 minutes) between stays.

It wasn't the messiest thing I've seen, but still required clean up on my end which the clients weren't happy about at all.The third client is a self employed hair dresser and she compained of poor communication, inability to understand what they wanted form her and complete confusion over their payroll directions.For the price paid, I'd say the results were mediocre at best.

This can also simplify cleaning schedules.
