I’ve used AirBNB once and got a chore list. That alone was enough to turn me off to the experience, but there were several other issues including a carbon monoxide alarm that kept going off until we got them to replace it at 11 at night
Edit: luckily there wasn’t an actual carbon monoxide issue
Did the listing explain that there was a chore list? If so, you could’ve chosen somewhere without one. If not, don’t do it.
I don’t really see the problem with the monoxide alarm. They did have an alarm, presumably for your safety. It obviously didn’t go off all the time for all guests, because it would’ve already been fixed. Sometimes things happen in hotels too. This doesn’t really seem like a “greedy short stay landlord” type issue.
They didnt say greedy landlord, they said they had a bad experience with their visit. I’m not sure why you are jumping to make excuses for an imaginary landlord in the first place. The only information you have to go on so far is negative and you have no reason not to trust it.
What does a greedy short stay landlord look like to you? Some would say charging a cleaning fee and also requiring the person to clean the place themselves would be double dipping or, dare I say, greed?
What about when there are no longer new families moving into your neighborhood because there just aren’t enough houses to rent out these days and profits have to keep going up?
If a landlord is focused on profits above all else, they are greedy. If they hold the quality of their service for their tenants above all else, good chance they aren’t motivated by greed.

I got lectured for having bottled water in a mountain town notorious for having utterly undrinkable water. It was a total creepshow.
