re: Airbnb host sent guest’s wife security photo of him with another woman, lawsuit claims

Cheating aside, sounds like he kept upping the ante which is pretty shitty on his part considering there were very clear ground rules in place.

It went from him initially saying "I'm just going to have a few people over" to "Hey, a few more people are coming, but not staying" to "a few people are going to be staying" to "Hey, I'm having a full blown rager"

Eh, it's her 6-figure investment, I'd have a pulse on my investment as well. Even if she is controlling, she gave him the rules, he agreed to comply by said rules, broke them anyway and skipped payment. Two wrongs don't make a right, but the dude is an idio

Where are some of you getting this info from?


It appears he just refused to pay the fines she tacked on.

5 people staying at a house that sleeps 12 isn’t a party

How the hell do these nutjobs not get reviews that would bury their little business?

Apparently they try to charge the negative reviewer a fine/fee and get reviewer’s profile suspended.

The whole story is from his point of view, so it might not hold.

The extortion thru “interstate text messaging” first depends on if that is even the owner’s number and verifiable. If so it looks a little bad with his context added in article based on his court filing, but the wife could have been involved at that point with the profile used to rent rooms at their house now suspended and/or owner just being a bitch to the guy at that point. He admittedly asked Airbnb to get all the pics and videos. No explicit attempt to extort and seems like no extortion implied.

The email to wife with a fake address is taking being a bitch a step further in a passive aggressive way if it can even be proven it was her as pic already out there to the guy at that point (more his word on wife not knowing beforehand). Still not extortion and more being a bitch while avoiding it being easily linked to her or her profile.

Even coming from his POV this seems more like AirBnB internal dispute not a lawsuit, and lawsuit seems almost like trying to get back at owner with bad press more than being a valid claim.

Ok yall are not gonna like me but I have a lot to say on this. Im an Airbnb host...but before yall get on me ive never charged a guest an extra dime, despite broken furniture, scratched floors, theft, dented appliances, broken house rules and late checkouts. My checkout instructions: "well take care of everything just leave used beds unmade"

Now that thats out of the way...I feel for this host. Whenever you rent to black folks and they say something like "we are just gonna have some friends over" it means they are gonna throw a party, break shite, smoke inside, and make your neighbors hate you. This host woman knew what was up. She sensed right away what was gonna happen. The dude booked her house to have a party and no amount of "concerned messages" was from host was gonna change that.

Honestly, I cringe every time black folks book my listing. Black folks, you really need to be better and hold yourselves more accountable for how yall treat other folks property. 4 out of 5 times...theres gonna be something broken, smoke smell, sheets or furniture ruined, or something. Literally 4 out of 5 times. I do really feel bad for the black
folks that do respect others property as they get lumped in with the rest.

The dude is a POS. The host lady needs to get thicker skin. You are gonna have bad guests occasionally. Take your L like everyone else does, and dont do something so incredibly stupid like email a guests wife.

Ok im done

You missed an opportunity to try to catch them on a count of video voyeurism.

Since it’s technically their property they’re allowed to have cameras in plain sight. But, Air BNB only allows them if they disclose them first, and they’re not allowed in bedrooms or bathrooms at all. None of that is illegal, but will get you kicked off the platform immediately if you break those rules.

Players gonna play play play

Listen, im a host as I stated earlier. Hotels are gonna be superior when you only need one room and are a single party traveling together. Europe is definitely an exception here.

If you need an airbnb, check the reviews, real a lot of them. Youll get a pretty good idea about what the property is gonna be like. Click the "display total before taxes" when searching. Youll then see the cleaning fees factored in before even clicking on the listings.

Airbnb is just fine. If you stay at my Airbnb, you are gonna have a very nice, clean, comfortable house with soft drinks in fridge, coffee, a host that wont pester you, and zero check out responsibilities other than to just text me when you are gone

I think cameras are in bad taste. I have zero cameras at my listing, not even a doorbell camera

---

Doorbell cameras are great. I caught one guy drunk who fell back and broke a rocking chair, and another guest who chipped a deckboard. Also caught one who had a dog (I have no pets allowed, and have an exemption that doesn’t allow service animals either), and one who brought over 8 people total on a 3 person reservation where local laws only allow 4 people max to a short term listing. They come in handy and guests don’t give a crap about them.

If you disclose that you have them in the living room on the other hand, probably would scare off guests.

So you don't disclose it...

Against Air BNB and would get you kicked off the platform immediately.
