I booked and paid for a month about 4-5 days before my stay. Only 2 hours before check in, after I had already moved out of my previous place, Eric insisted upon putting me through a strict interview on the phone to decide if he wanted me to come stay after all. He hesitantly agreed that I could come stay.
When I arrived, I was very surprised how many rules he had that were not stated in the listing. They include:
1. Absolutely no toilet paper allowed in the toilet bowl (walk USED toilet paper through house to the outside garbage can every time)
2. Absolutely no food allowed in the bedrooms
3. After washing your dishes do not leave them to air dry in the drain board but dry with towel and place back in cabinet in the exact spot where they belong.
4. Absolutely No tiny crumbs of food can be on the counter.
5. If someone else in the house doesn’t clean up after themselves then I must clean up after them.
I understand Eric likes things done a very specific way, but I think he should tell people these rules in his listing before they book. Also the WiFi password by the fridge does not work. I tried it 7 times. Cellular data was spotty and dropped off completely at times.
Eric is a very good, kind, wonderful, man, and was willing to release me from the monthly contract, and refund my money, and only have me pay for one night. I stayed just one night and paid about $121 total.
I wish him the best finding renters who he is happy with that are compatible with his house rules. Thank you for refunding the rest of the months rent.
