Such squatters should be moved into a free prison cell.

Exactly.

Theft is theft and a crime.

How about Barry Manilow or Captain and Tenielle? 24/7 Muskrat Love.

Yeah, this is a situation that local law enforcement should be able to take care of within a couple of hours of the owner’s call and showing paperwork.

I was a hotel executive for 25 years. It’s tough at times but overall runs smooth.

Why ? The landlord chose to approve their rental and she owns the property. All legal remedies flow through her. AirBnB can suspend their account so no further rentals are booked. This is on her and where she chose to rent out her house. Local politics matter (LPM @trademark).

That is why using airbnb is not a good idea, I know the guy across the street from us he uses that to rent out his guest house, every few months there is someone new over there..not sure if he gets payment in advance but thats what he does

[JBW1949]

LOL...That would also work....

Never mind blasting heavy metal and rap...they’d probably like it. Try opera. LOUD. And sing along with it.

Card on file doesn’t work because cards can be canceled.

If you’re in higher-end properties

Still most guests are generally OK

1975. “Rosebud”. A movie. Peter O’tolle was in it. The dug into the waterline at night, put sleeping gas into the system somehow and then walked in and handcuffed everyone. They were all out like a light.

This is why we can't have nice things.

[JBW1949]

If it is done in the hours I recommended, the neighbors would probably run the out...

Long ago, some landlords wouldn’t rent unless you had to have references from previous landlords.

[Fledermaus]

Very high end, yes. With a high room rate and parking you get a better customer.

Proof of defraud. Also don’t rent to people who don’t have a LONG history of credit worthiness.

Nope. A gospel quartet or sermons by Jimmy Swaggart

[lowbridge]

Gee officer, how should I have known that a motorcycle gang would show up and throw those squatters off of my property?

[Gaffer]

In this day and age, it isn’t recommended to allow anyone access to your home when you’re not there. AirBnB or not, eventually you’re gonna end up with scammers like this in there. The money just isn’t worth it.
