[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really surprised at people asking friends for the cleaning fee.
To share your second home with somebody is such a gracious gesture and asking for $100 is cheap. I think most people would remember the lovely gift you gave and pay you back in some appropriate way when the time was right, with a kindness of their own. But maybe not if they felt that they had already been asked to pay you, regardless of the fact that the actual price is much higher. You are sort of devaluing your own gift to your friends. And yeah, some people won’t or can’t ever repay the favor and that has to be ok too.[/quote]

Let me rephrase for your reading level: you are tacky as hell.[/quote]

Not everyone with a second home is rich. That hundred dollar cleaning fee might be a struggle for some who might be willing to share but not to lose money. I know a lot of people with family homes in Mexico/Central American, Asian or Caribbean towns who aren’t rich by any measure and would rather not let someone stay at their homes because they themselves can’t afford that cleaning fee you think they should eat.[/quote]

Why would anyone ask to stay at someone's home, then refuse to pay the cleaning fee, then call the home owner "poor"? This board is getting more outrageous.  If you are a taker, just admit it - I suppose that is why you are not allowed or asked to stay at others' beach houses. [/quote]
