Many transient house hosts expect guests to leave the property in a reasonably clean and orderly condition before checkout, which typically means washing used dishes, disposing of garbage properly, and returning furniture to its original arrangement. Some hosts charge a separate cleaning fee that covers full post-stay cleaning, while others include it in the nightly rate and simply ask guests to avoid leaving the property excessively messy. Review the checkout instructions provided by the host through Transienthome.com and follow them carefully to ensure the full return of your security deposit and to leave a positive impression as a guest.
