It’s pretty common for Airbnb hosts to give you a list of chores to do. Empty the bins, clear the beds, gather the towels up etc.

You didn't answer the question. I'll answer for you: no, there's no mention at all in the article of chores being required before check-out.

It's a valid discussion about airbnb in general, I guess, but it's otherwise irrelevant to this specific news story.

Like they couldnt afford a housecleaner when charging $200 a night to cover their $1200 mortgage.

To add insult there is often a cleaning fee and they still give you a list of chores.

Wouldn't you do that anyway?

I think you and a lot of people here would be surprised how many people who the only thing stopping them leaving literal shit on the floors and rubbish everywhere would be these chore list and cleaning fees.

I don’t even run Airbnb, I’ve just worked hospo. People are fucking gross and lazy.

Yeah, thinking about how the general public leave our toilets at work, I shouldn't have been surprised really.

I could never do that, I'd be too embarrassed of being caught out!

I would leave the house tidy and I’d clean any mess that I’d made (including washing the dishes) but I wouldn’t strip the beds or empty the bins unless asked.

This is pretty much a US-only thing.
