I am on holidays abroad with my family. A friend of a friend is renting us his flat, privately, not airBnB or any other letting system. They do not do this all the time but they have rented to us in the past before.

He just called me to ask me to switch off the TV as they want to watch Netflix in their other house.

I was so shocked I didn't know what to say.

IABU to think if you are prepared to rent out your flat for extra income you suck it up or deal with it differently??

was your DM watching The Crown?

this actually made me laugh!

@oldsockeater - I have said many times now that I genuinely had not realised that people would use their own Netflix accounts on a rental place. In fact, DH has just reminded me that in at least one flat we stayed in the available Netflix account had a 'guest' profile too, so I guess I am not the only one who sees it this way.
Anyway I have explained and apologised to the host and all was good.

However, as Centreparcsooheer says the Facebook/eBay/Gmail (I'm still waiting for someone to say Twitter!) analogy is very poor!
