PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

    Probably some people have. Me, I'm quite fussy about who I let in my property but if you are happy having random strangers stay in your property every other week then fill your boots.

    The agent has a cleaner that just cleans it between bookings.
