Bonkers Airbnb host under fire for list of demands including $120 fee for not emptying dishwasher

Airbnbs were supposed to be the easier way to travel.You can find one just about anywhere, complete with all the convenience and amenities of a real home, rather than a hotel.But, of course, there’s always a catch.When booking an Airbnb, you can look over a list of rules and checkout instructions from the host.Generally, these might encompass things like whether or not you can bring a pet, when to put out the bins, or specific cleaning requirements and charges.One Aussie, though, has gotten quite the rude awakening from a list provided to them by a local Airbnb host, which contains close to 20 demands – almost all of them detailing an additional fee.When does it go too far?An Aussie local has shared a list of rules provided to them by an Airbnb host in Queensland to Reddit.The list begins simply, stating that whilst no security deposit is required for the property, guests will be fully responsible for any costs incurred as a result of damages caused.

You’ll be charged for that, too.“Should it prove necessary to invo...
