[quote=Anonymous]I have experience with this. I had a tiny 800 sq foot second home THAT I DID NOT RENT OUT. It was for personal use.

I say no.  I'd tell her "It is so kind of you to think of us. The country home is currently winterized and is not set up for habitation so it is unavailable."

I had my personal belongings throughout my home and each time I left I had it set up for how I wanted it when I returned.

My insurance was second home insurance for personal use and did not allow for nightly rentals so I did not rent it out.

I did not feel that I could say no to my sister's friends requests so....

The Mom of my sister's friend stayed there for free to attend her daughter's graduation.

The Army ranger friend of my sister and his wife stayed there for free to attend the wedding of a friend.

Then my sister put an illegal immigrant in the unit without my knowledge.

Since I don't have a cleaning service or a regular maintenance guy the whole thing was problematic preparing for the next person since I live across the country.

When my boyfriend and I went out there to live and work for 3 months nothing was how I left it.  When I left I left the unit with my unscented detergents and my natural cleaners....vinegar etc.  None of this remained.  I had to throw out a lot of caustic scented cleaning products.  My high thread count bedding was gone replace with something cheap from Walmart. The shower door was broken.

I sadly sold the unit as it was so much hassle with the freeloader friends of my sister.

I WOULD SAY NO.  If you don't the friend of the friend will want to stay there for free. It snowballs.[/quote]
