Couple Rents Out Home Using Popular Website – and Returns to Something Almost Unimaginable

The Kings rented out their Calgary, Alberta, home in Canada using the popular renting service Airbnb. They thought it would be an easy way to help offset the cost of their travel with their two kids, CTV reported.

They were wrong.

The Airbnb renters told the King family that only four people would be staying at the home while they attended a wedding. So on Saturday, they handed over the keys and were off on their trip. But it wasn’t long before they their neighbors called and sent them text messages, explaining that they were concerned about what was going on.

Later, a party bus showed up and an unknown number of people poured into the home. Police received at least three noise complaints in as many days and on Monday they were called to the house to respond to a fight taking place in the front yard.

The family returned home, while some of the apparent partiers were still there , to find their house completely trashed.

It’s Canada. The homeowners should have called SRU Team One to flush the b@$t@rds out of the house.

DANG!

Good luck finding them as well. They probably used a prepaid credit card.

As our Western countries become even more secular and continue to lose their traditional morality, this crap will only become more prevalent.

Brought to you by the libertarians who came up with the “sharing” economy!

Aren't those two things a contradiction in terms?

some people think they’re so much smarter than us plebes...

hey! we’re gonna be gone for a while, we can pick up extra cash by renting out the house whilst we’re gone? what can possibly go wrong?

or

hey! we’re gonna have some civil unrest, so let’s advertise that we have places for those who wish to destroy things...we’re so smart! what can possibly go wrong?

Your statement makes no sense to me - and probably to others as well.

More power to morons.

Forget e pluribus unum: "More power to morons" should be the national motto.

That’s their baby, Uber and all that, the whole concept. But yeah, the idea of libertarians “sharing” does seem counter-intuitive, unless you figure its that everyone ELSE is supposed to “share” with them.

I really do think their motto should be “what could go wrong?!”

I don’t think the way TOU are used now is fair. I have advanced degrees and I’d need hours to fully understand the legal ramification of all the points within. And I am not the majority of people: we know there are some pretty uneducated and barely literate folks around.

It’s actually ridiculous. Click here to instantly agree to 12 pages of legal mucho jumbo?

There should be a way to make the main points therein written so that they MIGHT be understood.

(I am talking about in general, not this airbnb thing specifically.)

“Brought to you by the libertarians who came up with the “sharing” economy!”

riiiight. and having every petty transaction regulated by the government is so much better.

I’m sure you would have been one of the fools handing your gold over to Uncle Sam in 1933

Here in S Fl. renting out homes/condos for a short time is common especially in the over 55 communities. Usually Dec thru April. Lots of retirees use the money to meet expenses.

Ive rented my place out a couple of times to Canadians while Im in S America. We just pack up personal stuff, move in other mattresses and things and boom...all done. Never had a problem but have heard of some.....but I dont EVER rent to NY Libs! NEVER!

It is a unique feature of the mental processes of libertarians I have known that they suddenly don’t understand when things go south for them.
