I have a friend like that . He parents were bible swinging nutters . He told me he learned a lot of things from his parents . He saw what they did , then did the exact opposite . <| sep |> There we go , a stop . <| sep |> I host in an apartment , not a private home . My landlord is OK with it , but I want to keep comings and goings to a minimum . I very rarely host more than 1 person per room . By the terms of my lease I cannot have more than 3 people living here . My insurance will not cover people not on the reservation , neither will airbnb host guarantee . It ' s a violation of trust . Hosting strangers is psychologically stressful . More strangers , more stressful , but it goes way way up when it ' s people just having guests over overnight without permission . If they had asked me there is a non zero chance we could have worked something out , they never asked though .
