On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke is joined by Short Term Shop Plus coach Chuck Kramer to discuss whether it's appropriate for Airbnb cleaners to request tips. Both Luke and Chuck come out in favor of allowing tipping—drawing from their personal experiences in hospitality—but agree that leaving tip envelopes labeled “The Management” crosses a line into tacky. They emphasize that subtle, respectful options (like countertop signs or guidebook mentions) are a better alternative for encouraging gratuity without pressuring guests.
