What to Do When a Guest Disrespects House Rules: A Calm but Firm Approach to Protecting Your Property and Your Peace of Mind
Table Of Contents
Start with Clarity: Make Sure the Rules Were Clear and Accessible
Before assuming a guest intentionally disrespected your house rules, double-check that the rules were clearly shared, visible, and acknowledged.
📌 Make Sure:
- Rules were listed in the booking platform
- A welcome message reiterated key policies (e.g., no smoking, no parties)
- Printed or framed rules were placed in visible areas inside the unit
💡 Tip: Use simple, polite language like “Thank you for respecting our home” to frame your rules as part of the guest experience—not just restrictions.
