Was renting a place to 4 guys from Houston. They were doing demolition work at a refinery. After 2 months, one of the guys was gone. I asked the other guys where he went. They said he found a girlfriend up here and moved in with her.
Lame excuse #1: He found a girlfriend.
Two weeks later he was back and living in my STR house with the other 3 guys. I asked him why he moved back. He said the woman was crazy and he had to get away from her.
2 months later he called me one morning and said he was leaving. He wanted a partial refund of his rent. I asked him why he was leaving.
Lame excuse #2: His wife in Houston was packing up her things and moving out from their house.
I had a couple from NYC want to leave because the husband couldn’t see the Northern Lights from our “well lit city street” and wanted a full refund. He left to stay at the Ramada, in the center of the city which is more lit up.
Like, I live in the middle of New York, dude. What northern lights were you planning to see?
I've only had one guest leave early, ever. It's in Kauai and the guests child saw a centipede in one of the rooms. I guess the kid freaked out and they didn't want to stay there any longer. No refund requested, or issued. Bugs are explicitly mentioned in my listing and rental agreement since it's tropical and these things are pretty common.
Only had one guest leave early due to a family issue back home. They left one day early and didn't request a refund, but I did a partial (50 percent) just because. They left a great review (didn't mention the refund) and booked for this year right away. I think that little bit of cash I sent back brought them back for a week this year.
