ironically a lot of people take issue with the cleaning fees as the hosts tend you require you to clean up before you leave

That's correct. Why am I paying them for the privilege of cleaning up after myself?

We all know it is a scam fee. People wouldn't be as mad over a hold on some amount (usually returned) insuring the host against an egregious sloppy mess.

I'm their defense, most places I have stayed have never asked me to actually clean. They usually just ask that you take the trash out and do a few other things that could leave the place smelly if no one comes in the next day or two to clean.
