The amount of time and effort put into this thread already exceeds the value of the work you may or may not do.

Way more interesting thread if OP had asked how much to charge for a face-sitting.

I'm not sure if this is the law in the city I live in (Tucson, AZ) or the state but around 15 years ago, the city gave us two trash bins for houses. One for trash and one for recycling. If you don't use the recycle or put too much recyclable in the regular trash you get a fine.

$50/wk. for cleaning the bathrooms, $25/wk. for sorting recycling. As others said, buy recycling bin the first week, collect free money.

In CA you have to pay a deposit when you buy the crap, so you are incentivized to recycle and get your money back. It's kind of stupid because you end up burning up some of that refund driving to/from the recycling center, pollute the air, waste time, etc, etc.

if you live in the house the Colombian guy owns, you're not subletting it, your a tenant, as well as all the other people living in the house. If you leased your space to someone else, then you would be subletting it.

Anyway, just ask for a few hundred off the monthly rent. That's more than fair.

As a somewhat frequent airbnb user it seems absurd for someone renting a house/apt/condo for a few days to change out the tp rolls after using mbe a third of a roll. Also some of the properties I have stayed do not have obvious instructions as to how they dispose of the trash and you basically just leave it by the front door.

Update: I found out there is more space on the second floor than I thought and there are actually 8 guests (including me) living in the house besides the owner. So it's about $8k/mo. total rent minus Airbnb fees.

I just told him $500 for a month and he accepted. He also wants me to feed his parrot. Will consider strategies for optimizing garbage separation.

If you can find an open recycling center at all.

1. turn off your sig genius
2. so if you're staying at an air BnB and run out of toilet paper while taking a dump, you're just like "ehhh Im not supposed to change the roll, screw it I'm not gonna wipe!
3. In the OP please show me where he said anything about "someone renting a house/apt/condo for a few days"

I didn't say anything about people (besides myself) renting for periods of time other than a few days either. Do you know how Airbnb works?

I think its so instead of recycling it yourself, you toss it away and then the city can recycle it and make money?

I dunno, I keep hearing about how its not really profitable for cities to recycle, especially if they have to sort it. They are trying to raise awareness in phoenix about doing a better job of not putting things that cant be recycled into the recycling bins because its costing too much money for the city to sort it.

Strong words from someone who doesn't know what subletting is.

The difference being that I am not entering a thread making disparaging remarks to someone asking for advice on a topic I know nothing about. Crawl back into your hole.

If you don't want disparaging remarks made you should write better OP's. Include all relevant info in the first post (such as the fact that the owner is running an air bnb business from this house), and don't (mis)use words you don't understand such as "subletting" so you can avoid causing confusion.

Rude!

i can see the dangers of confusing someone who already feels compelled to comment on topics they know nothing about (notice you and jmakin are in the minority in this regard). i hope all your posts aren't this bad, isn't there a containment thread for people like you?

No, they tend to be populated by people like you

to make it easy just pick an hourly rate and tell him that and you will keep track of your hours and he can pay you that when he returns or you can take it off your rent.

Re: thread title - This isn't property-sitting, it's temping in the hostel management industry.

Ok skippy, let me help you out with your complete lack of self awareness.
You're the one who was so embarrassed by your life skills incompetence that you had to create a gimmick account named "SublettingProblems" to ask questions that can be easily figured out using common sense, or barring that, a cutting edge internet feature commonly known as google.
Then you created a terrible post asking about subletting, when in fact there is no subletting whatsoever even going on in the situation you describe. You also refer to "property sitting" in the very title of your terrible post, and guess what? YOU'RE NOT PROPERTY SITTING EITHER!
Before you worry about what other posters may or may not know about a given topic, you should probably at bare minimum, do a tiny bit of research first so that you are least somewhat informed about the situation you are getting yourself into.

And in case you are wondering, yes, this post was disparaging.

The misuse of “subletting” here isn’t a nit, because it confuses one of the very central facts of the post that we OOTers need to conduct out in-depth analysis.

Ray, that seems reasonable but we already came to an agreement.

Howard, noted - but I don't think it's too much to expect posters to have at least an ounce of decorum when pointing that out. See below.

cs3,

I can't tell if you're 72 (calling me 'skippy') or 12 (your general demeanor), but you really need to post better than this. Don't mean to be disparaging, just trying to help!

OP,

Expecting decorum from OOT is like expecting the Clippers to win a championship.

4 years ago that didn't seem so crazy, so maybe there is hope for OOT. Besides the Clippers had to deal with nepotism from a coach/GM father giving his son a then-undeserved role, whereas 2+2's admins...well, nevermind.
