A person underhandedly uses somebody else's house as a gay bathhouse and the owner's upset that they have to clean up after the men? Yeah I think it's ok to be sympathetic to that situation...
You're not going to make me change my viewpoint by making it about gay people

Bro if you will happily clean up the sweat, spit, blood and semen of people who use your house as a brothel or bathhouse then maybe there's an app idea in there for ya. Most people would not be happy doing that.

Most of that is present in a hotel room regardless of the 'brothel' angle. Its what hotel cleaning crews deal with every day.
Lets admit it, its the moral angle that's getting folks all spun up.

Of course it is, and rightly so. It's completely underhanded to use someone's premises as a brothel without their say-so.
Hotels are facilities which cater for all sorts of people and can cope with all sorts of eventualities. When you rent your house out for the night to a couple, you do not expect them to have used it as a base for prostitution, and should not be as happy to clean up as everybody in this thread seems to be.

I guess we differ here. If you rent your apartment as a hotel room, then you'll have to clean it as a hotel room. The cleaning part is a red herring.
All that remains is, wishing to regulate the morals of the renters. Which is an iffy proposition at best.
Consider a comparable headline: "My Airbnb flat was turned into a pop-up bathhouse, because my gay renter had gay sex with a man he met on the gay app Grindr."
Would this headline be deserving of a similar level of sympathy/moral weight/etc?
