98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Can I bill my housesitter for couch stains?

Published Fri, 19 Apr 2024 17:02:55 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Jeremy and it's about housesitting. Here's his email: Get the latest news, weather, and sports delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. Here's my issue. I had to leave on business for a couple of weeks and paid a local college-aged guy in the neighborhood a few hundred bucks to stay at my house and watch over the place. He was allowed to stay over, eat whatever he wanted, and was given free reign and trust. When I came back, however, I noticed that the couch I’d just paid over three-grand for had some major stain damage. Now, I’m wondering if it’s appropriate to bill him for cleaning it. It’s a light-colored fabric, and now it’s loaded with what looks like Cheeto dust, condiments, and fingerprint dirt. Any thoughts on this from anyone? Thanks.JeremyThis is a tough one. I've had people housesit my home before. Sometimes you come home, and your house is cleaner than when you left, and sometimes you come home and it's...
