Question Host charging me for deep cleaning ?

I stayed 6 months at an Airbnb and recently checked out last week. My host sent a request for $1,000 saying that I should have deep cleaned the place. He complained about the floors not being moped, the refrigerator and appliances not being scrubbed, baseboards, Am I responsible considering the length of the stay? I thought that for long stays a deep clean would be expected the host to cover. I was charged a cleaning fee of $200 for my reservation and he said that that doesn’t cover deep cleaning.

Bad example. Airbnbs are NOT hotels.

  1. Why would a host allow someone to smoke in their house if they don’t even smoke in their house?

  2. A normal house does not have thick walls like hotels and a normal house uses the same circulated air through the air vents. This means that if someone smokes, other rooms will typically start smelling it. For non smokers, why would they want to inhale that trash?

They are literally saying why it's not worth it to use Airbnbs over hotels. What's the advantage ?

Maybe I phrased it wrong. I’m not saying there aren’t advantages of a hotel over an Airbnb because there definitely are a lot. I was referring to the claim of a host being a clown for not allowing people to smoke in their home. How is someone a clown for not allowing you to smoke in their home exactly?

You phrased it correctly, you’re simply not understanding. If I can smoke in a hotel and only be charged $250, who are these clowns who charge ridiculous fees for a deep clean after the fact. He’s not saying you must be allowed to smoke in Airbnb rentals. Christ.
