They had special insurance covering a million dollars in damages. This is almost a non story.
Who rents out their home to strangers for three days?
Does Airbnb screen users?Their background checks are as good as Uber.Airbnb does not routinely perform background checks on its users, although we reserve the right to do so. Instead, we strive to provide our hosts and guests with the right tools to make informed decisions regarding who they interact with on the site and in the real world.
Airbnb offers a number of features that help build trust and cultivate a transparent community marketplace, including our secure messaging system, user reviews, the Host Guarantee, and Verified ID. At Airbnb, we want to build the world's most trusted community. To help ensure our members' safety, we dedicate a knowledgeable and experienced team to monitor any suspicious activity in our marketplace. Users can also help ensure the safety of the community by flagging activity they feel is suspicious or inappropriate. We investigate each flag on a case-by-case basis and follow up as appropriate. In any user profile, listing, or message thread, you will see an icon with a small flag which allows you to notify our team who can investigate. Here’s an example of what the flag looks like:
But fear not: They'll be 'flagged' for their evil deed.../s
Airbnb is an awesome way to fill a vacation rental , but the idea of renting out ones own home seems ludicrous. The exceptions might be if you live near the the Masters the super bowl or another major event when you can make huge money.
The carpet and furniture could be professionally cleaned for less than a grand. And the whole house cleaned to like new condition for a few hundred tops. Add another $20 for a new horsey toy and $30 for a new walmart rug.
The damage was more psychological honestly.
One more thing:
Just like the Uber Terms of Use, no one likely bothered to read the AirBnB TOU.
Apps are a dangerous new development for the general public, new & old, because it’s not just about clicking to install software or a game anymore: Not reading the TOU can have real life consequences because that click is legally binding, in many cases severely limiting legal recourse in the event something really bad happens...and I think we have yet to see the worst events transpire.
Unimaginable? I would have said “predictable”.
Brought to you by the libertarians who came up with the “sharing” economy!
It’s Canada. The homeowners should have called SRU Team One to flush the b@$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.
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?
Who has the Canada PING list?
Anyone thinking of renting their property, just watch the movie, Pacific Heights.
