Our current Airbnb guest asked for early check-in. I declined but said will let you know if place becomes available sooner (cleaners need the full allocated time until 3PM). At 11 am we get a message saying we purchased some groceries and asking if we drop them off. We say ok. Then they refuse to leave and cleaners say they can’t finish with them there. They say fine. Home is clean enough. Was working hard to get them in early so home was almost ready. 2 days goes by. Get an alert on my phone there is movement side of the home where there is never movement. We see people there looking at the electrical panel and just flipping switches. No idea why… no replies to my messages.

Is it possible they just overloaded a circuit or there is a broken outlet and they are trying to reset it rather than something nefarious? Either way, if they don't reach out and mention that something is going wrong I would'nt continue to bombard them with messages.

Ok, it was nothing nefarious, the guests seemed to have tripped a fuse using a hairdryer and some other items plugged in, but they are still giving me difficult guest vibes.

How old is your electrical system? A hairdryer alone shouldnt cause a tripped circuit. Are you running alot of lights using old incadecent bulbs or is there  window AC plugged in?
