Thank God for maids who change the sheets and pillowcases, you never know what you're laying your head on. Sometimes people would rent rooms and have huge parties in them, they would make all kinds of noise and after warning them several times to "Keep it quiet." In many cases they would have to be evicted. Most of them kept the noise up and didn't care. I could have evicted them on my own had I been drinking but regarding business, we had to act professional so in many cases, we had to call the police to stand by while we evicted them. Usually only then with the police standing by would they leave.
