Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

forgetting the camera for a second, imagine going on your honeymoon, renting an airbnb and being given a list of chores and washing to do before you leave
Was that in the article somewhere?
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.
Thank you. I thought my reading comprehension skills had been shattered by my years on reddit for a minute there.
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.
And then add a $150 cleaning fee
And they pay the cleaning crew $25
There's a cleaning crew?
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.
Have never seen that in all the AirBNBs I've been to, I'm guessing that's US only
I've been expected to empty bins and not leave dishes and put sheets in the wash in Europe.
In my experience of using Airbnb at least 15 times in Europe, maybe more, it varies, but never outrageous tbh. They did ask to put the garbage outside a couple times, but no biggie really. As for the dishes, they never asked me to do them, but I usually do them anyway cause I'm not gross (plus if there's a dishwasher is really a no brainer) and they've never asked me to do anything with bedsheets.
I don't know, I've never been really bothered by this. I've been more bothered by the fact that sometimes you try to reserve the house and they answer that it's already reserved. Then why did you leave the dates open? So much time wasted...
I wouldn't care if the price was good. Too many places cost as much as hotels, yet you get no hotel benefits.
No painting or light masonry? You had it easy!
Yeah id probably burn the house down.
