OP, what is it you want from people?  What do you think people owe you?

The minute someone asks this of us, after we’ve invited them several  times a year anyway, and they know we rent it, puts us in a very awkward position. If we say yes I’m gonna worry if they’ll leave it in rentable condition, if they’ll ask again and again, if they think we somehow owe them a free stay. 
If we say no then what? 
I’d rather not be in that position with my friends. [/quote]

You can tell from the responses who is truly in this position and who is not.  Well said, PP, thank you.  Also wondering why people are so cocky as to 1.) count other people's pennies and 2.) expect stuff from people, whether or not you are close.

It is also important that both members of the couple like you, not just one.  So, if one finds you untrustworthy, or cocky or even gross (just examples, of course), you ain't getting into any of their homes unattended. Presumably, you would also want to bring other people (given the PPs) - in which case, does the owner know or like them? Or would they be there to judge what they don't have?

Some PPs want to make this about the owner, but it is clearly most about who will be in the house. Some people have their own key - some never in a million years. [/quote]

(I am agreeing with PP, thank you)[/quote]
