[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. These responses are kinda interesting, and thanks for sharing. They seem to be in three camps : 1) you need to expect wear-and-tear because people have different standards, and some live rough; 2) you need to instruct your guests how to meet your standards or hover over them for the quick save. 3) you shouldn’t host.

To me, it’s astonishing that so many would-be visitors struggle with the basics.

Then again, I attended an elite private college and was a RA. I recall that some students thought it was their “right” to tear up the dorm because their parents paid rent. They didn’t seem to understand or want to understand that rent was for reasonable use of the space, not abuse.

I guess I’m cut from different cloth. [/quote]

Accidents happen. But people should try to take care of the things in a home when they are visiting.  We have old not-too-expensive furnishings, but we still don't want to replace them due to someone's carelessness.

We once rented an expensive beach house with another family who stated the rental company priced in a certain amount of breakage and things going missing.  Maybe so, but that's not a reason to destroy things without remorse. [/quote]
