Polite way to decline returning guest - toast1 - 10-25-2025
So I’ve had a couple stay with me for about 3 weeks now. I wouldn’t say they were bad guests, but a little bit of a nuisance. I had uneasy vibes from the beginning with them. After the first week the wanted an extension and asked for a discount, I obliged. The extended a second time, again wanted another discount. When the third discount request came I said no and they were fine with it. Then I got a message asking for help at 1 am because her bf was drunk and couldn’t handle it. We ran over to see and she barely opened the door to her room and said everything was fine and barely acknowledged the message. Then she was complaining about other people slamming doors and that she needs her sleep and whatnot. Well come to find out that other tenants messaged me saying that said tenant has been overly loud most days, usually staying up till 4am most nights and constantly having guests over being kinda loud very late and knocking on other tenants doors in the middle of the night. Their room got booked so I told them they have to leave at the end of this last extension and they are ok with that. The problem is they keep asking me to find more availability and they want to come back again for a long term stay again. Is there a way to block them from renting my place? Is there a polite way to go about denying them? How would you go about it? Thank you in advance, I’m still new and have been learning a ton from you fine people on this forum.

A simple "sorry, we are unable to host" will do. Click on their profile from your messages history, report and then select block. This should stop all interaction going forward.
