Would you charge rent over the Christmas period?

I'd offer 50% discount if they truly are staying away for a few weeks, ie lock up the room and turn off the heating and enjoy having the place to yourself for a few weeks.
If they want to come and go during that period I would say no.
I wouldnt be turning the heating off in any rooms just because the lodgers arent there, do more harm than goodNever, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0 -
Sorry for not replying, been a hectic weekend.
Many thanks for all your replies, definitely helpful.
Have decided that as it is Christmas to give them a 50% discount. This will ensure the rooms are kept fresh for their return and to have fresh flowers in their rooms for a warm welcome back from the Christmas Hols.
Again many thanks for all your replies
Have a happy Christmas everyone0
