There is one logical reason for it though. 

If there is a cost of 'cleaning' between clients/customers then unlike a hotel you wouldn't add this to the daily cost, as the activity only happens once (unlike a hotel where it can be every day). 

So you wouldn't add it to daily fee, just have one payment for the whole stay. 

Of course it should be in the advertised cost though. Else you can't compare.

If there is a cleaning fee then I will trash the place the way I trash a hotel. 

Towels on the floor. Trash bin full. I will do absolutely nothing to clean besides unreasonable messes. 

Jk I actually do clean up a decent amount at Airbnb's unless the host specifically asks for shit like doing the laundry or taking the trash out. Then I intentionally leave a giant mess. I'm not doing your chores you fucking nitwit. 

They charge you a $250 cleaning fee then ask you to do the cleaning so their cleaning staff charges them less. 

They pocket the difference. 

I swear with some of the requests these turd burglars have I just want to leave a steaming shit sausage in their air conditioner vents or something. 

My favorite so far was "run the laundry." Except the washer already had clothes in it. They wanted me to run their own fucking load for them.

So I threw their shit in their trash can, washed the sheets, and sent them a message saying "did the laundry as requested, previous guests left their clothes in the washer so I went ahead and threw them out for you!"
