Someone needs to open up a can of whoop @@@.

People should legally be allowed to shoot home invaders.

It had already occurred to me that this could happen when you rent your house out through AirBnB.

[cableguymn]

airbnb ran the other way when their tenants wouldn’t move out?

Sue them all.

I always thought the Airbnb business model was very risky. I did my homework on a renter. Seemed okay. Had to do an air-conditioning service there this week. There were about 20 bags of rotting garbage in the Livingroom. No surface in the kitchen was clear of dirty dishware and rotting garbage. They’ve gotten two small dogs who have peed all over the house, probably because they aren’t being walked. And that was with some research into who I was renting to. But to take not one, but dozens of strangers on short term and leave the place furnished? Absolute craziness. It’s like playing Russian Roulette with your property.

Is this sort of thing possible in Mexico? Asking for a friend.

Such squatters should be moved into a free prison cell.

I second that!

So funny really. AirBnB should be solely responsible for getting them out, liable for all damages and costs. Does a long-term rental invoke different laws than overnight or a few days or weeks?

#1 have a Credit Card to charge for damages or overstays BEFORE you rent to them.
#2 have a credit history of these Airbnb people so they will NEVER rent anywhere else again . . ever with Airbnb.
#3Contact Airbnb.
get an eviction notice ASAP
#4et an attorney to attach an lien against these people to hold them liable.

I think this would last about 15 minutes in my county in N. GA.

I don’t think our sheriff would put up with this nonsense. Nor our DA. Nor the judges.

This happened to a friend of mine who used Airbnb to rent out a spare room in his own house. Get that? In his own house. The agreement was for one week. But then the renters wouldn’t leave and wouldn’t pay to stay on. The police said it was a civil matter. You’ve got to get an eviction order. Blah, blah, blah.

The squatters finally left after about three months. I suspect my friend paid them to leave. I didn’t ask, as I didn’t want to embarrass him.

Moral of the story: The next time my friend needs some extra cash, better to get a part-time job at Walmart.

There's always the alternative eviction method...

#1 have a Credit Card to charge for damages or overstays BEFORE you rent to them.

What if they cancel that card AFTER they rent your place?

Had a friend who was always talking about building cabins in Colorado and then renting them out.

I told him, you have obviously never worked in a hotel. It’s not what you see on TV.

Set up an extremely loud sound system in the front of the property and play as loud as possible heavy metal and rap music from 11 PM until 6 AM every night until they are gone or run out by the neighborhood....

[metmom]

It was just a matter of time before this happened.

What is AirBnb supposed to do ?
This is a local police and court matter. How an area votes matters …

[BipolarBob]

More proof at a trial they intended to defraud.
