two huge paragraphsLol you ' re mad <| sep |> I hope you realize usosickofthesameshit is totally wrong here . Being annoyed that a guest blatantly ignored your rules after explicitly agreeing to them when booking is bullshit and he should be charged whatever you say in your listing is the fee for such behavior . It ' s your house you owe nobody anything . They want to stay at your house ? pay the rate and follow the rules . I have a fee of $ 50 if someone checks out more than 15 minutes late . Am I ruining the community ? What if it was $ 100 ? $ 200 ? $ 2 ? The entire part of a fee being disproportional is to signal that you ' re not fucking around with that rule . If someone breaks the rule anyways , then they 100 % should pay whatever they knew was the fee beforehand . I hope AirBnB does give award your the $ 500 . And furthermore , fuck that guy for talking about the $ 5 extra for toilet paper and $ 1 , 500 for an 8 pm curfew . He ' s just trying to use hyperbole to make his point seem more relevant which actually accomplishes the opposite , he just sounds like an idiot making such a comparison .
