Do you check out on time?
Yes.
Dh makes sure we're out of there an hour early. It annoys the heck out of me. I want to be there until 5 minutes before checkout. Very Happy

It's stealing. In a hotel, you get charged for it.

Absolutely. You pay for your stay. Overstaying is gneiva. One time we asked if we can check out an hour later and we'd pay. The host said the cleaning crew won't be there before 3 hours so we are welcome to stay till then free. We left after an hour. Was so nice of him!

Oh my! Definitely not ok. What makes you think that's fine? Curious how you justify staying after the time you paid for.

Besides stealing and chilul Hashem factor, it's not right according to basic morally...

As a vacation rental host, ask if you need or want to stay later, we always accomadate when we can.
I do not cater to a frum crowd and I've never had a guest leave late yet.
I always offer if we don't have a same day check in and the cleaners can accomadate.

I check out of every hotel and rental before check out time.

We check out on time. One place asked us to text that we were out. Rarely do we even go 5 minutes over. And we currently are with parents who rented an Airbnb with us (they were honest about number of guests) and they just asked for a slightly late checkout next week. In advance and politely. We were given extra time but if not, we would have been out the door before 10am as requested.

It's bad enough to leave late due to bad planning, but to purposely leave hours late by jamming locks or just squatting in property beyond the check-out time?

What a chilul Hashem.

This.
OP, I am honestly not understanding the purpose of your post.
What you wrote and the smiley face imply that you think what you do is not only acceptable but clever.
What I (and others, by the previous responses) see is a total lack of awareness and stealing, not to mention the tremendous chillul Hashem.
By "outsmarting the system" you are actually cheating yourself out of so much more. Think about what I mean by that, I hope you figure it out.

As someone who has an Airbnb your both 100% wrong.
The cleaning crew comes in usually within a half hour of checkout time.


One airbnb had a lady open an apartment for us. She was drunk and unstable. When we discussed the checkout, she let us stay an hour longer ๐Ÿ˜‚

We always leave on time.
We will ask if the place is available if we can leave our cases in the place for another hour or 2 if we came by public transport and want the kids to go to the park before we leave.
Hotels always let you leave the case at reception and our Airbnb let us keep it there for another hr until cleaning came. We weren't in the place just the cases neatly by the door.

If you need extra time pay for it!

Only if we're literally loading the car & just not managing to be out exactly on the button. I don't think it's ok to plan on staying past.


This. And I messaged the owner saying that we're busy getting out but it's taking longer than planned and I'll let her know when we've left. She ended up turning up about half an hour later.
She messaged back no problem.

11am is much more doable than 10. We just had to leave by 10. We didn't manage until 11.15. I messaged her at 10 that we were running late and I apologised twice. I know it's not good, but this is how it was. We left it in clean condition though despite the damages and lost items! I'm op of the other thread ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ™Š

Most Air BnB people are not unreasonable. They are in the "service business" and want to work with people.

If you need a bit of extra time and you contact them - or ask to leave bags packed behind like a poster, almost all of them would agree - and one would hope that you would leave a nice review indicating they were flexible and helpful.

But to deliberately stay without notifying and asking is just wrong - and often really would cause a difficult situation since the cleaners have allocated a certain number of hours to clean for the arrival of the next guest and you are squatting. Presumably you haven't packed up because otherwise why are you squatting.

Also it will probably lead to a negative review since almost all Air BnB have cameras at the entrance and so even if you *think* you have tricked them by jamming the lock, they will still know you are squatting there.

One time we had an 11am checkout and the cleaning crew showed up at 10:30. It was beyond stressful. My dh told me not to worry it's their problem, but it stressed me out. We were out 11am on the dot but really they were wrong.

The Airbnb we stayed at before the last one had a checkout time of 10 am. It's considered very standard, both in Airbnb and hotels. I would advise you that if you know that 10 doesn't work for you, don't book those properties. The same way you make sure there are enough bedrooms, make sure the timing works for you.

So don't book an airbnb that has a checkout time of 10. It's written there so you can see it before you book.

I think 11 is the more common checkout time in hotels.

I was wondering the same. We kept the door unlocked on shabbos when we went out because it has an electronic keypad.

We've only ever been to houses with a 10am checkout. It seems to be the standard.
We usually manage by 10. This year we didn't. It doesn't mean that we need to choose later checkouts now. That would be near Impossible anyway.
