Incidents depend on location too. My city center location apartments are prone to these incidents. Other apartments out of town are less hassle for these kinds of incidents. This is a big risk in this industry.
We had some problems and end up getting the police involved. Once a couple booked and we found 20 odds drunk people at the apartment. There was no way to find the person who booked in that crowd especially with Alcohol at hype.
Another occasion guests had a fight and we found out blood stains and smashed bottles, holes in the wall . We end up getting whole sitting room renovated including wall paper, paint, coffee table replaced etc. Lost of business for couple of days too. Later on, police found the guy (thanks to our policy for taking ID) in connection with more things but we couldn't recover our damages.
These are only 2 occasions we had to involve police. We don't return deposit if smoking is evident. Otherwise a gentle reminder specially over the weekend and deposit do the trick.
>Strongly recommend taking a Photo ID and deposit

>We send a gentle reminder to remind our policies after their check-in.
I think BC should provide a service for hosts to review the guests too like air bnb. So guest should feel accountable too. BC is great but still more to do.
Must take deposit. No 1 cares about items provided for convenience and comfort. I had damages more than value of deposit. Booking.com doesn't do much about it. I am planning to increase deposit over the weekends to avoid any further stress , loss of earning and damages. My one location in town is risky for damages but others are fine. I would strongly recommend taking/preauthrising deposits to cover some damage instead of nothing.
All the best.
