- Airbnb should share in the responsibility for their temporary tenants that become squatters. The Brentwood squatter was there for almost two years asking for $100,000 and Airbnb should have assisted in the removal process and expenses since they are responsible for screening and placement. Serial squatter Elizibeth is out now but I’m hoping for changes to help prevent new squatters from using Airbnb and companies alike to gain access. Sorry for the selfies I wanted to show I was actually there.
I saw this in the news. Yes, it was through air bnb, however when the air bnb contract expired the 'tenant' at that time spoke with the homeowner if she could stay temporarily and the owner agreed without a contract through air bnb or a lease agreement. She definitely took advantage of the owner's kindness. Glad to see she's finally out.
All true, my point is Airbnb should be responsible for screening process and result of lack of to share in responsibility. This wasn’t her first time doing this.
@@FlashShelton you would think, but that grey area of short term rentals vs a hotel type stay is crazy. A matter of it being a tenant vs a guest. Regardless .. in terms of squatting, I hope the law you are trying to change goes through.
@@Kitkat-wu3ow thank you
Well there's a lesson for us all to heed.
Airbnb should update their contract with anti-squatter language.
She needs her face plastered everywhere to make sure no one else gets victimized. Also she went to Harvard. Actual freaking Harvard.
I agree, yes even the highest educated can be squatters.
Harvard is a 💩hole institution these days!!
Being educated doesn't make them decent people. Criminals are from all walks of life.
I heard some unsavory characters are looking for her in CA. Wouldn’t be surprised if she suddenly disappeared. If the law won’t do it you think rich connected people won’t do anything lol. Best of luck together her my guess is well never hear from her again once they find her.
Welk, have you seen the recent Harvard graduates? They're either he,themselves, she themselves, or protesting something stupid!!! #worthless
Thanks for making the video. Really feel sorry for the home owners. And good to show the squatter’s face so no one will be victim again.
She’s a repeat grifter and the tools of her trade is to overstay her rental and extort the owners across the country. Thanks for sharing this follow up.
I believe the first couple weeks was booked through Airbnb. When the serial squatter wanted a long term stay . They made a contract or agreement outside of Airbnb. And that is why they could not assist the Owner/Host.
The details are unclear. I heard he agreed to let her stay an additional two weeks for free and she never left. This was done because this has become a common practice not an isolated event. I have heard from several including one in Seattle that is Squatting and making an income with Airbnb. Thank you for watching and comment.
Ahhh yes, I'll just fill my pockets with quick look and 'break' my contract with 'provider'. Bummer eh?
We have allowed wild west 2 because of the internet and it is changing the core of our society not.for the better
Before people jump on me for being a pearl clutcher, consider that we do need regulation. Period. However we also should consider whether it is really progress when you...
Carvana..buying a car from a vending machine when so many can not get their titles or have recourse.
Amazon...buy from unknown sellers with products that have no safety regs, the company will not unionize, many retailers and brick and mortars, and mom n pop shops have literally closed or are being crushed.
Air bnb...aside from squatters it has affected the housing market, prices, and greatly decreased availability of houses.
Facebook, instagram, youtube, snapshot, etc etc etc... affect people and children in so many ways, we are just allowing this to continue instead of insisting the guards are their before release. Good idea? Maybe not. 😮
Never ever go off plantform!
Flash is coming for you!! 🎉❤
I have had problems with Air bnb and knew they were bad news a long time ago. Really sad that they did not do the right thing, but I am not surprised at all. I have not had any problems with Verbo but could see that squatters might try something with them. Be careful folks.
Air B and B, should shoulder some responsibility for this issue. The homeowner needs to sue Air B and B!
They feel they are not involved because the stay was extended but I believe they should be responsible for the screening and providing proper short term tenants and share in the responsibility.
That wild look in her eyes. 😢
*bat shit crazy look in her eyes 😂
She's got some serious cat lady vibes look at those eyes the eyes says it all😊
Lol
That's giving cat ladies a bad name.. she looks deranged
I just read a bunch of articles on her. She is a complete psycho and should be in jail. She stayed in this guys house illegally for 570 days. and in another house in Oakland for over 1 year. I cannot imagine doing that to someone and I cannot believe she thinks she has the right and is devoid of an humility and accountability.
well she's a woman lol. he got it coming
Someone like Flash, with his unique approach, would be perfect for this. Just move in while she's out, show his tenant agreement, let her try to "share the space" with him and the bikers he brings with him.
does holiday inn or any hotel for that matter have a remedy if a guest will not pay or leave room?? should be nearly the same situation with air b&b ?
There is a difference between short term rental guest and tenant. It is much harder to evict tenants and many times these squatters are professional meaning they know the loopholes.
@@kellyhou9594 isn't b and b a short term rental and not a tenant/landlord relationship?
Hoping the laws are changed!
Thank you it’s a long road but I will never give up.

Proposed law change in New York.
Definitely agree‼️
In England someone rented an apartment from a landlord and the tenant turned it into an Air BNB, so the tenant was making tons of money off the air bnb customers. It was all good until the neighbors kept complaining to the landlord.
Yeah I do think the company should be held accountable for that, like these horror stories just makes me go no thanks I'll just book a hotel. Like what happens if someone booked it and there's a swatter there does air b&b pay for a hotel then, what if all the hotels are all booked already too like what would they do in this case. Yeah no thanks I'll just book ahead of time at a hotel at least there if some like that happened (double booked room) and if they can't find you a room somewhere else they can at least let you stay in the lobby or set up a cot or 2 in a conference room.
My mom rented a condo here in Florida. The condo next door had an eviction notice on the door. The woman squatter moved in and NEVER paid one penny after the first month. It was completely trashed. The owner that owned that condo sold it immediately to the owner of the one mom rented. She let us see it. It was a nightmare. The toilet was BLACK it was so dirty. The carpet was destroyed. She told us they would gut it and remodel. What a shame the original owner suffered paying for the condo, insurance, taxes. They were disgusted and sold it.
Sunlight. ❤
The only thing Air BnB does is list the property. We rented one that was ABSOLUTELY filthy -- bugs everywhere FILTHY. We called Air BnB and they said it is up to the owner what they want to do about it, not their problem. I cannot describe how bad it was. Guaranteed that if Air BnB has to start having insurance because communities make laws about them being responsible, those costs will be passed on to the owner who then will pass them on to the renters. And then everyone will complain about the laws that were created and how it's a bureaucracy.
I believe you can get a refund, but most importantly you can leave a bad rating describing it. You could just find a different airbnb unit and said you aren't sleeping in that thing
@@jason200912 Nope -- the owners had a phone number framed with the instructions for the Air bnb -- this was the first one we stayed in. Because it said -- Instructions for Use of Air bNb, we called that number -- because we didn't communicate originally with Air BnB they refused any help. The owners were mad that we called Air BnB and refused any help
Document the condition of the place with photos or video. Unfortunately there are a lot of scammers who stay for the full reservation and then after the fact try to claim a refund, using fake photos of bugs. So if the place was genuinely dirty, the most important thing to do is notify the host of the condition as soon as you check-in. Ask them to fix whatever cleanliness problem there is, and if they don’t follow through, leave and request a refund.
@@jason200912 We did leave the terrible rating. The people actually lied about cleaning the place. We called to see if we could get in 1/2 hour earlier than our reservation because it was so hot and we had our dog with us. They said that their cleaners were there cleaning -- we were out front and no one was there. They hadn't even turned on AC -- and it was so late. It was such a terrible experience. We figured out later that it was a company that owns a bunch of rentals and acted like it was an individual. WORST experience. American Express wouldn't do anything for us either. It was so awful and stressful because we had our dog with us and we were moving so we couldn't just go anywhere.
@@NLR759 We called immediately but there weren't a lot of options for us because we had our dog with us. I still have the photos. I was on the phone with Air BnB for hours that night and they did nothing.
$100,000?!?! Wtf the entitlement of these people seems to NEVER cease to amaze me
I wonder if the homeowners could sue Airbnb, and based on the contract that they have with Airbnb be able to collect some of the expenses they had to pay out as a result of this case.
I think the problem here isn’t so much the issue with who’s responsible the issue is in California. I don’t know exactly how many weeks it is but it’s either like two or three weeks establishes tenancy. So in order for people who are renting Airbnb’s in California to avoid this problem happening they have to make sure that they get that person out as soon as they overstay their welcome. If there’s supposed to be out on the first and they aren’t rebooking the owners need to call the police, or go to a lawyer and file a motion to get them out before they establish legal tenancy. In the interim between when they were supposed to be out by Airbnb, and when they establish tenancy at the homeowners residence they have no legal right or protection to be in that property. And especially in the cases of these really fancy property rentals, I would say that legally by any means possible, including filing a restraining order if the circumstances warrant, it should be done to get the person out before they have tenancy. It’s going to much harder to remove them after that 2 or 3 weeks.
You can’t leave any leeway, or make any exceptions, because three weeks barely gives you enough legal time to get them out before they would establish tenancy.
I have 4 people in my 2 bedroom apt. They stopped paying dec a1st. What can I do. I have a lawyer that gave them 3 day notice. HOw do I get them out? Sherman oaks
Email details to consultation@squatterhunters.com and schedule a Zoom to go over case and options.
I wish you could show us videos when you are working in getting them out vs you talking everything and just saying what happen.
Stayed tuned for when I announce my tv show. Thank you for watching.
I hope she doesn't do this again to someone else.
It's so bs. An owner ought to be able to have the support of the police and the locating co
Someone needs to sue air bnb
Amen !!!
I don't know when it comes in effect but soon California will be charging Airbmb an extra 15% tax. This extra tax is supposed to go toward providing affordable housing. It will be cheaper to stay in a hotel.
Homeowners should be considering long term rentals, it will be more profitable than airbmbs
Either homeowner settled/paid her to leave (she asked for a six figure payout) or a possibility why she moved out could be that her identity is now out and she may had felt shame from the backlash and consequences of this.
A harvard graduate leveraging technicalities to squat at a home in a wealthy neighborhood. Doesn't look good on her. She may had made it far more difficult on herself to get work going forward.
Great idea regarding Airbnb taking out insurance.
Not just insurance, but a solidl method for removing the tresspasser.
you would think the owners could get a suit filed with the utilities to not put utilities in others names without signed permission. While it would not work in all cases.. not having water and electricity or gas would make most people move out..
How can he owners not sue the squatters for losses and them be jailed if they don’t pay? Their wages should be garnished. You cause the damage you make restitution.
Love the hat! Do u sell them?❤
Thank you, I’m looking for someone who is willing to make them in bulk with proceeds going to squatter law change. Hoping to start getting hats and shits out soon.
Didn't work for me. After running the Windows10 installation media, instead of getting a prompt that says "what do you want to do", it simply says "Thank you for updating to the latest version of Windows 10" with "(Close)" as the only selectable option.
Can anyone help? I'm probably missing something super basic but I can't find out what it is via google yet...
And this woman’s name should be published EVERYWHERE so that she cannot continue living from others savings 😡😡😡😡😡
She made a contract with the owner who allowed her to stay that is on the owner.
He should sue air b n b!
They claim that since he offered to let her stay after their contract was done that released them. I just think they should still be responsible for the screening process and result.
@@FlashShelton Yeah sine she did this to the guy in Oakland, Airbnb shoudl've banned her form the site
Squatters better beware owners are fighting back!
Hiring a couple big Samoans is all you need
Or take one or 2 ornery German Shepherds, Dobermans with you when you "visit " your property or decide to move back in. Make sure you brush the dog's teeth before you visit to impress the squatters.
Won’t solve anything … you’ll go to jail … and they’ll sue you and win and still be in your place and you’ll have to pay them conpensatory damages for the assault 😂. Lose … lose … lose
Uber doesn't cover it, either. Only anything above a $2500. That is what happens when you do business with a machine like airbnb is a machine, uber is a machine, etc.
If I can’t get more regulation I will educate. Welcome to my channel and thanks for watching.
It's SO outrageous that it's comical.
It's called backup. where's the brotherhood in your area.
Please explain what you are talking about. What is called backup and what got you to say that? As for me I have a crew as backup. Thanks for watching.
Appears Sascha tried to save a nickel and it cost him much, much more..........
She has the full on crazy eyes.
you are reporting inaccuracies. the contract with airbnb expired. it was all on the owner.
NEVER us Air BnB
Airbnb evidently sucks!

"The details are unclear. I heard he agreed to let her stay an additional two weeks for free and she never left." NO! "Airbnb has since deleted Hirschhorn's account. It told the LA Times because the stay was extended outside the platform, it was deemed a third-party matter and does not involve the company." Owner made many mistakes including" Hirschhorn’s attorney told the Times that "she was not required to pay rent because the city had never approved the unit for occupancy and that its shower was constructed without a permit." Cheap dentist and Hirshhorn deserve each other/
That is a tactic that many squatters and tenants use to live for free. Many people do unpermited work and they still don’t deserve a Squatter. The city requires permits for almost everything you do and most don’t get a permit for every little fixture that is changed. No one deserves this situation. Sounds like you are rooting for Squatters here. Thanks for watching.
This was not an isolated event this has become a way for Squatters to get into homes. Even Airbnb’ing the homes out they are squatting in to make income.
@@FlashSheltonI agree. I have a dear friend who let a lady stay in a vacant property. she's been hell on wheels. She has a prior eviction history, she broke down an office door of his on the property ( which is separate from the place he allowed her to stay) to get free welfare internet. Smells like weed, she has a small dog with mini bags of poo on the porch, versus throwing it in the garbage. After court, she has until the end of December to be out. I wouldn't wanna live somewhere I'm not wanted. Some people are literal lazy Bums.
Example of why people need a license to have and raise kids. Her parents should have NEVER been allowed to have her and she should NEVER be permitted to have any children.
why so many pictures of you?
Lol filler. Just wanted to show I was actually there. A bit much I guess sorry. Lol
@@FlashShelton please don't apologize to trolls. 😊 I think you are doing a fantastic thing here and making good content. Keep fighting the good fight. ❤
You gotta be a sick and heartless person to be a squatter
Brentwood? Rich person problems? She didn’t want her face on your videos.
It is not just rich person problems. It happened to Flash too. It is a nightmare and I feel bad for anyone that has to deal with a crazy person that lives in your house rent free
I couldn't finish watching.
This is a video of selfies.
Sorry wanted to show I was actually there. Can’t please em all.
Oh bummer to all you ppl who are creating housing problems for local residents & all the while the owners are filling their pockets with cash - roll of the dice baby! And obviously the owner doesn't know enough to know how to 'screen' people. Would you have hired her for a job with your company - yah, you probably would. Sorry, NOT sorry!
I Feel sorry that’s how you comprehended this. AirBnb was responsible for the screening. This has nothing to do with creating a housing problem. He got in trouble extending her stay for two weeks for free and then she refused to leave. We are also talking about a career squatter in a situation that doesn’t relate to your comment at all.
@@FlashShelton Well in my city part of our horrible housing issue related right back to the vast # of Air BnB's. Was never a fan of this idea & will never like it. People just found another way to fill their pockets with 'temporary visitors' and not deal with tenants.
I consider myself one of the lucky ones - been in same place with same landlord since Oct 31st 2001. When stuff needs attention he gets on it and I have no qualms about something needing repair.
When we viewed this place we had a list of things we wanted; reasonably new roof, NO basements, 2 bedrooms & NO stucco. First question we asked was if owner intended on selling - he could have lied. Our previous landlord was a jerk & we left after 6 months of his daily visits (ppl before us had a grow-op!) He neglected to get electric, gas & structured check prior to renting - city requirement and power had been cut off, was still off when we moved in!!!!
At any rate, rarely see my current landlord and phone when something needed. We got extremely lucky and only had 3 regulated rent increases in the 23 years.
That's the way it SHOULD be, not people in & out on an ongoing basis. No idea who's living beside you except when you hear old suitcases out and new ones in and the slamming of taxi doors - no one ever thinks about disturbing the neighbourhood & I can tell you it's ridiculous because neighbours have NO power! Greedy, greedy!
@@FlashShelton Yeah she is bad news and totally took advantage of his kindness and being that she has done this before, she totally knew what she was doing.
This original comment has got to be a joke.
