My mother had a tenant not paying,she took the front door off,they left.Had a friend stuck with the same problem,I told him what my mother had done,he did the same thing and the tenants left.
I would not rent a room out in my house to someone unless I did a background check. So stupid how Airbnb is set up. I had worst experience in an Airbnb as a guest
Your brothers can possibly get killed and tenants get your house just for you sending them... (No pun intended) Js ... It is commifornia/DACAfornia/mexifornia after all 🤷🏽♂️ you legally can't kick them out so therefore it means you can't touch them either.
You never take cash from someone who wants to extend. I always tell every person that new guests are coming that same day they are suppose to check out. I get them out by noon and tell them new guest are checking in at 3:00 so I need to have the place clean(even if I don't have any guest coming). One time a couple looked suspicious and weren't making any attempt to leave, I had 2 friends show up with suitcases as if the were checking in. That got the couple to pack and leave.
Yep, just tell them politely...re-book if you want to extend your stay. If they complain about the fee, well, I guess they don't want to extend their stay that bad.
In these types of cases why can't you just call the police to harrass or scare them into leaving?? I don't know the rules or laws concerning something like this.
This happened to my coworker who rented her house to provide for her 2 handicapped children. The squatters slashed her tires, broke everything inside the house, poured soil into the garbage disposal, and did so much damage that my coworker cried for days. It cost my coworker $90K to get rid of them in the end. Only in California where criminals have more freedom than taxpaying citizens.
If you can’t get rid of non-paying leaching squatters go buy some Raid roach foggers. Wait in the middle of the night or until they’re sleep and place the foggers outside their bedroom door, hopefully it’s cracked open and wherever. Set them off and Make sure you leave the house and have somewhere to go. That’ll choke their asses in their sleep and give them permanent health problems. I betcha they leave then and if they ask why you set it off at night just say oh it was quiet in the house you didn’t think they was there and roaches do come out at night. Lol. Sorry bastards.
@@b3at2 But clearly the law, and the way it is enforced is a very real problem. A verbal agreement of cash payment is no legally binding lease or sub lease. So technically they were guests, not residents, who were then refusing to leave. Meaning they were trespassing on private property. But the law treated them as tenants, despite any legal tenant or lease agreement.
@@ericcollins6231 Those guest got the owners to go outside air BnB for a reason...and it shows.. to take advantage.. the problem is not the law...its people breaking air BnB rules.
@@thatonenippleclamplyingaro3612 I hope so too. Just some out there with the thinking they can run roughshod over you coz they think they're "superior" and you're just far below them. Same time, a lesson to airB owners: don't make side cash deals coz you're stepping out of the protection offered under the contract.
There is a time and a place for physical violence, at least strongly implied violence, this situation could have been resolved quickly and peacefully with the proper number of really large men, just saying. That shirtless dude with the long hair, would have quickly seen it was in his best interest to leave the premises ASAP.
She definitely got scammed. The homeowner lost her legal protections by accepting cash when their Airbnb expired instead of extending their stay. She saw green and so did they.
What would happen if they showed the faces? Pretty much most of that list after "people that don't live anywhere near there won't like those people" is stuff you would like to avoid if you are a news outlet. . .
She did not have an Air BNB nightmare. “...weeks into the contract, agreeing to a cash only payment, not involving Air BNB.” This has nothing to do with Air BNB.
@@RyGuy1127 nah dude makes a valid point. If it would have stayed with air bnb they wouldn't have been able to use the squatters rights loophole. They would have got removed by the police.
I got weirded out staying in a Airbnb. I didn't realize it is someone's home with people living in there. I didn't stay the entire time and checked into a hotel the next day.
This happened to me in 2022 July/August. Trust me, it's worse than a nightmare. I had to hire a lawyer for $2000. The lesson I learnt is never to argue or engage in too much conversation with those kind of people.
It's the lady's fault. She signed a contract without educating herself on the laws. The 30 days notice for renting is meant to make it so landlords can't kick you out without notice.
^ In this case, they weren't criminals. What they did can be viewed as "morally wrong", but, as you heard, their actions were legal by California's standards. The couple could be there up to 30 days. The woman paid them off because she was aware that them staying was totally legal- but she PERSONALLY no longer wanted them there. People need to take this as a learning lesson; if you rent out with Airbnb, stick within their contracts. When you go into other territories and extend stays outside of them, it's YOUR own fault. If she hadn't done that and the people refused to leave, she could have called the police and they would have had to go. People need to read the fine print and take responsibility of their stupid actions.
This is the world we live in now folks, get comfortable. I've been in her situation before, actually more than once -- I will never do it again, no matter what hard luck story they give me. I couldn't give a flying flip how bad their situation is. I'm done helping the downtrodden, homeless and addicted. They've ruined it for decent individuals who are really down on their luck and could use a helping hand.
Something similar happened to me this weekend. A lady who was supposed to check-out at 11 am maximum ended up checking out at 5:30 pm. From that morning she asked to extend her reservation for two more nights which I agreed to her request… she kept putting on excuses not to pay saying the system didn’t notified her etc… at 3:30 pm Airbnb’s Ambassador tells me she is not willing to cooperate and she yelled on the phone to him saying she was shopping and she didn’t had time to attend the call. The Ambassador recommends me to set on the security alarm, which as soon as I turned it on she begs me to turn it off telling me she will be out of the house in 15 mins (she obviously lied about doing shopping and was actually at the house). I don’t understand how this lady stayed for 6 hours after check-out time without any guilt. She started insulting me calling me every bad word you could imagine, threatening me that she would sued me because I forced her to leave my home with her children. I don’t live in the same city as the house. I did what I could to prevent her staying for free. The police told me what she did was trespassing because she had no authorization to be at someone else’s property since check-out time had passed. I am traumatized by this and hopefully it never happens again.
This is when you need to always have good friends that are police officers and that work for the sheriff's department nobody likes the police nor the sheriff but when you in a situation like this they should be your best friend and then people would have never been in your house like that believe me,in Santa Cruz I love the police and the sheriff there!!💪🔥🔥
@@TheDetroitblack That's just great. Advising everyone to be like you, that you use the citizen's police as your own personal enforcement officers. Aren't you the special one. Terrible behavior, immoral, theft and manipulation, undermining your city's trust in unbiased policing. And if you do have these police buddies doing moonlighting for your personal gain, shame on those officers too. Do you pay them in cash or return favors, or are you just that special you get these unethical favors for free? F "liberty and justice for all," screw "serve and protect," and forget about the civil rights of the people you don't like. Your so proud of your advantage, so clueless of your skewed moral compass, your advertising unabashed in a public forum. When we have vigilantes and narcissists getting personal justice we all loose.
Guess what… in many states you will have this nightmare. I’m in Texas and my renter’s GIRLFRIEND, not even on the lease, took over, changed locks, set a mattress on fire. My friend called police and handed me the phone, I said hi I’m the homeowner, no one is renting my home, this girl can’t in any way prove she lives there. They said we can’t get involved, get a lawyer. Of course like everyone I thought I’m going to drag her out by her hair. But some good friends sat me down and explained why I was not going to go near her. She DESTROYED my place. I did get a lawyer, he waited around to serve her and lucky me she did open the door. So I didn’t fly down to drag her out. I was renting to be with a dying parent, the lawyer said don’t spend more money, you’d win but she’ll never pay it. Later Facebk said “is this your friend?” And I quickly (and wisely) deleted and did not want to know where she lived or anything that could have made me lose it. I worked really hard on releasing my anger over that. The truth is Airbnb is great bc people don’t want a bad review, especially if you’re in a hot spot. This poor woman, people are broken, some do not care and are walking around soulless and sick.
Next time remove the door or doors to the apartment, cut of the electric and water, and let the scamers take you to court. Guess what they will not, and you live in Texas I though you guys were all so tough?
@@vietnamvet4533 actually it was a bunch of ex vets, recovered junky guys in. Hutch next to me that said F no, you’re not going to drag then out bc I had planned on doing that. They sat me down and had me do a 4 th step. They had survived so much including jail and they said, don’t be stupid. There could be a bunch of drug dealers, who now live in there…gangbangers or whatever, and said, do you not go there and sneak in like your planning and putting them out, you could go to jail over this and you don’t want to, they sat me down and I have a do a four step on this. they taught me so much and they taught me that I had to get rid of the anger, so I listen to them I got a lawyer and I got them out the right way I guess. Believe me, I still wanted to go in there and get them. has nothing to do with being tough. It was logic and those guys helped me so much. Peace to you brother because if youre an ex vet, much respect to you.. I had to listen to them. No one could’ve reached me the way they did. It was so kind. I almost wish I was an ex addict because that church was so cool. They had meetings there. I just worked in the kitchen they were cool guys. It was beautiful actually. They do anger and they said we are not letting you go to jail over this. They said we do a four step because we cannot live with the kind of anger we have so we’re constantly using this thing called a forth step. It’s sad what was your part in it and I couldn’t believe that question I was like nothing they were aSHoles! But by the end of sitting there with them, they make me understand their point. It was to not have anger.
I once phoned the police to get rid of someone unpaying (and his friend) but this was after waiting months and complaining to our landlord (I was also a tenant) and there was drug usage involved too
@@outlawJosieFox That would be stupid... the law is always on the criminal's side these days. Making that mistake would end up with her being removed from the house and charged probably. It's hardly fair but this is the world we live in now.
I have to agree, it's absolutely unacceptable from the renters side. However, Airbnb has policies set in place to avoid these exact situation. Be safe, play by the rule~
@quenga wildside you ain't gonna sue me too are you? 'Cause in that case please tell me when the police are coming home, I'd like to hand them some cookies while we laugh at your stupidity
This is why these personal rental programs for rooms and rides are so bad. Hotels and taxis create that necessary professional boundary lacking when you try to trust strangers.
Proud American wrong, Airbnb is designed against this flaw so California Laws are. It relevant until she decided to rent to them herself without doing any checks. Airbnb has a nonpayment policy where you can absolutely kick them out WITHOUT 30 day notice after nonpayment. That’s why you don’t rent a house unless you know the housing industry and learn HOW TO RENT A HOUSE.

It’s called victim shaming and it’s the fundamental flaw with all of you liberal idiots. You defend the deadbeat bloodsuckers and condemn the victim under the argument of a person who wants to capitalize. So you defend the big business (Airbnb) and because an individual wants to do the same thing, they are not entitled? Please explain.
@@frankreynolds7404 they definitely are not. The poor woman who was just trying to use a popular way to make a little extra money and ended up having her house held hostage is the victim here.
TreachourusJdogg you misunderstood- The reporter was just quoting the law. The law, in California and a lot of other states says that you must give the person 30 days notice if you want them to leave. The law is set up that way so that you, as a citizen, can’t be kicked out of your apartment with zero notice essentially leaving you homeless” It’s a great law, unfortunately some people take advantage of it. The reporter was not siding with the squatters, he was mearly pointing out the law
@@womanofgoldenwords3881 it seems that you are the one that has misunderstood. It is not part of the law that it is "expensive" to move. That is an opinion, and it is victimizing the squatters in this story.
"Transitioning to a cash only payment" - sounds like she was trying to cut Airbnb out of the deal AND avoid paying federal taxes. Going rogue is very risky...
She went wrong when she went off when she went for the cash funds. Her own greed doomed her to these people who knew the laws in her state. Airbnb is only one of the many short term rental portals. When a greedy owner forgoes their protections the consequences are on them. You got me to click on this, so good for you. No respect for the homeowner trying to cut out her protections for 3% more. Shameful
There is a man squating in my moms home now for 7 days. He keeps asking for a mailing address. Its happen to my dad on 2 Occasions, Where the squatter gets a restraining order against him. He had to pay the bills and was not allowed to go back to his home. Giving someone a warm bed and hot food because you feel sorry for their situation. Is not a good idea
This happened to a friend of mine and he would cut the breakers of anything they tried to use and had a lock on the box. No hot showers, no oven, no washer and dryer, he got a small fridge for his room and cut the breakers to the kitchen, he cut the cable and wifi to their bedroom, they left within 2 weeks. As long as the electricity and water are on its completely legal to control the breakers in your home no matter who lives there.
I would add to that making sure tgey woke up at all sorts of odd hours, but I can easily do that. I have very bad sleep habits and only need 6 hours a night
You are correct this is not an Airbnb problem. This is just another example of the media distorting the truth for it's own agenda to take away personal rights. The homeowner stepped outside of Airbnb's guidelines.
Yea yea yea blah blah blah. Touch them they will sue you for so much they might even own the house. Their is legal process of eviction. Sucks it's the law.
@@rogeliocorona6837 That's why i said a WRONG person's house. There is literally a dude who killed three teenagers over a stupid prank (they buzzed and then ran away the the guy got in the car and ran them over) Now what do you think he would do to these people? Do you think he even cares about law or jail?
Nobody is excluded from California law, buuuuuut it’s going to be hard for squatters to prove you hired a alpha friend that respects a ladies space to come teach them some manners. You can’t prosecute someone if you don’t know who they are just turn the cameras off. No lawyers going to take this case without evidence or a down payment. It’s sad they take advantage of a already sad situation, then proceed to scam her into paying them more then they owed her for the rental to begin with, it’s a lesson learned though because it’s her fault for voiding the Airbnb contract.
Since there’s no record of them ever getting a rental on Airbnb then there’s no evidence you ever accepted their cash or made a agreement. If they call the cops just deny the rental arrangement, say they are robbing your house, and that you’ve never seen them before in your life.
@@BPtruth I agree 100%. Really it could have been a more simpler resolution: Have male associate come over, "Hey, my female friend and I would like some privacy. Please leave.". *Sternly*. These bums would not have the heart to challenge the male (or males) to a confrontation. That along with the bums' lack of any legal proof that they have rights to the home would surely be enough persuasion for them to leave.
I watched a video about a similar occurrence a few months ago. Except this happened with a granny flat/guest house type property and the "guest" pulled the same scam, then proceeded to threaten the owner and try to write him up on things that weren't up to code. But when the owner tried to fix things to be compliant, she refused to let them in for the repairs. She ended up staying there for free for over 6 months I think. I can't remember what eventually forced her to move out but apparently she had pulled the same scam at her previous airbnb booking as well but that owner paid her to leave. So ridiculous.
Kinda along the same line is my story. I own a building with a few rental units. A bar, barber shop and two apartments. When I bought the place years ago I had a woman living in one of the apartments with two high school aged kids. She just stopped paying rent. I tried to evict her, but because of the liberal tennant favoring laws I couldn't. She wound up owing me about $6,000 by the time she moved out. She tried to get my building into the rent-assist program but I refused. Once you get in that program you're pretty much screwed. So, I had to eat the $6k. Fast forward a couple years. Another woman moves in. She lasts about 3 months then stops paying rent, while proudly driving her Mercedes around town. I drive a Chevy. By the time she moved out she owed me about $3k. Another tennant I had during Covid. He stopped paying rent. When asked, he said that I couldnt evict him because of covid, and he was correct, even though he was working EXTRA HOURS at the time. And, when he got his "stimulus" check I didnt see a dime. He ended up owing me $5k by the time he left. We had some mutual friends that didnt like the crap he was pulling on me. One day they showed up at the apartment and moved all his crap out, along with his worthless a$$. I had NOTHING to do with that. So, when people bitch about rent prices going sky high, remember these stories. One of the reasons rent prices are so high... laws that allow this type of crap to happen. So far I've lost my a$$ on those apartments, and I have to make my money up somehow. The other tennants HAVE to pay their rent. Being businesses I can boot them in a heartbeat.
I count myself lucky because the only two renter experiences were awful, so I never even consider renting out anything ever again! People who do it are rolling the dice, and these days one can only imagine the population of the despicable humans has grown. Now, i get nervous about neighbors who have an air bnb. Not too bright of an idea if a bad egg of a human shows up.
Similar thing happened to my sister. She had a friend from work stay with her, because she needed help, and when my sister returned from a weekend in Vegas, the friend boyfriend was at her house living there. My sister told her she cant have him living in her house, and they threaten her that they will call the cops, because she pays half the rent. Well, this was a not a signed documented agreement kind of thing, and when our family heard about what happened..It did not sit well with my brothers. They went to have the couple removed and they locked the bedroom door on them. One of my brothers kicked the door open, and they tried to call the cops but my brothers took their phones and busted it, and had them out with their belongings in matters of 10 minutes. They did call the cops from someone else's phone, and my sister spoke with the cops and told them that she dont live there, and was there for a weekend only, and she did not pay rent. The couple couldn't prove that they were living with her, and so the cops had them escorted off the property. My sister did lie to the cops, but she knew that they couldn't prove anything, and didnt want to deal with the bs of their damn rights..Give a person an inch, and they take a yard! Lesson learned!
it says right in the clip: she broke the AirBnB contract to go to cash only. she threw any protections she had out the window. it is unfortunate that people don't know their rights and get taken advantage of by people who do. be very familiar with your rights especially when it comes to something that can financially ruin you.
The same thing is happening in Canada.... professional squatters who have been living in other peoples' homes for YEARS not months with out paying a cent. The law is on the side of the tenant. Hire someone to get rid of them and let them hire a lawyer!!!!
Its her fault for switching to cash only. She was protected when using the airbnb TOS. The moment you cut then out. Youre on your own. And california is notorious for making almost impossible to evict people.
I’m curious why it’s almost impossible? My family has been evicted once and we have the 30 day notice law here as well. But when we where evicted we didn’t get a note and the place just said “uhhm yea we did, now you’re going to court because you didn’t leave” giving them a solid case. I’m from Michigan btw and I was underage and just had a baby; my mother was also pregnant at the time and we lived here for 6 years.
@@13DF79 u tellin me if you have a house and u want to rent a room for money for cash you wouldnt do it.? the only mistake she did was asking for cash and not getting them to sign any other paper to protect herself. it still dont give the people the right to take over house and not pay nothing
News outlets need to stop being so freakin' afraid of lawsuits and stop blurring these people's faces. Is the only way to bring any accountability to the situation.
Worked for Airbnb and Property Managements, this is what happens when you go on your own. Always stay within your rental agreement on the booking platforms. Always communicate with the guests WITHIN THE PLATFORM. The host disregarded these things which made her ineligible for Airbnb's Host Insurance Policy which could've covered her.
@@angelmedina2762 I caught that and was like ummm the host has some major responsibility in why they stayed longer. They didn't even ask her why she was okay with that.
I once had a dispute with a host and Airbnb 100% had my back because everything happened on the platform. You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
Getting your own rental agreement and covering yourself legally is not that hard. Airbnb and company’s like that don’t have some special ability to do something you can’t. In Commi California A rental company would have been legally tied up by the 30 day eviction notice as well. This whole thing is a twist on the situation to make people think they can’t do things on their own.
He’s talking about the law. Many people rent homes in California because homes at expensive and all the rich people already bought them all(good luck Texas and the rest of the states where these rich people are now moving their businesses to, you’ll have the same problems soon enough). For a normal person who isn’t scamming or trying to do anything wrong, getting evicted overnight is horrible and it can take time to find another affordable place to live so 30 days is reasonable. In a situation like this, well, it’s the homeowners fault for making their home a hotel to begin with.
Lol. I mean i do agree with the attorney, life is hard and i personally don't think its necessarily a bad law but i thought that applied to actual renters but i guess they technically were .but it doesn't mean u can abuse it and at that point prison should be waiting for them after especially if they ruin the place. Although probably 30days is too long in general but altho it sucks ,I do believe the law should allow responsible people a few days or a week before having to leave by force
I once had a client who had this same problem. The police always said it was a civil issue. I told the client to find four of the meanest looking dudes and invite them to ‘move in’ with the squatters and make life miserable for them. They dominated the bathrooms, the beds and the kitchen. When the squatters called police to complain, the police told them it’s a civil matter. The squatters were gone within 48 hours.
That’s insane. Who would do that but honestly, people getting greedy and renting a room to strangers. That’s ridiculous. I’ve seen some rental ads for a bedroom for 1500-2000. For a bedroom!!
A while back in Poland there was that story of a couple who stopped paying the rent but wouldn't move out of the property, the law standing on their side. So the owner posted an ad online to rent his apartment once more, this time free of charge, but specifically catered to declared heavy party people who obliged to make the life of anybody staying in that apartment a living mess. Needless to say, the couple who overstayed moved out after 2 days or so. That was completely legal, too.
I've been in a similar situation. The law was on their side so I shut off my electricity, water, everything. We had a nice little camp out for about a week. I think what finally made them leave was me singing my version of 'Opera' as loud as possible whenever I was home.
@@fabiolasandoval6318 what????????? WOW 😣. At this point I would never let strangers into my home. Heck, I have some relatives that I would never let live with me. People are so entitled nowadays. Smfh
I just made a comment about forcing them on their own to leave!! I’m glad you were able to think of something I think the law is ridiculously ignorant sometimes. In this videos case I would not have spent my own money for them to leave. 😩
They saw that she was sweet, and law abiding and decided to walk all over her. If she was a nuisance herself, yelling at them and complaining all day at them, maybe they would have left. How can people just be milling around your house when you don't want them there? Take their stuff, put it outside, lock the door, and don't let them back. She wasn't aggressive to deal with that creepy couple. I would be so furious with them pawing through my food and walking around half nude.
I had a similar tenant and my eviction lawyer said if I take out her stuffs and change the lock, I would be breaking the law and the nonpaying tenant would be able to sue me and win the case. I had to wait for the slow eviction process to run its course while she stays rent free and breaking my walls, painting graffiti on doors and stealing roommates’ properties. The police came many times and couldn’t do anything with her. That’s the reality faced by many landlords in California
She was most likely advised by a lawyer to not engage and to ride it out the way she did so as not to cause more liability on her side. That way the law directly deals with the squatters rather than it potentially backfire. Clearly it's not their first rodeo, and just because you're nice and timid doesn't mean you're weak/vulnerable/unable to do anything about the situation. Just means work smart not hard.
@@Babu-kr3cr depends on your perspective and how well you handle the situation. In this case obviously it quite literally pays as she is in favor of the law thanks to her niceties rather than against. Otherwise, you can retain boundaries while still being nice, and people forget to distinguish the two as they sacrifice their protection while simultaneously putting the blame on their behavior when it's not actually the case. It's simply the easier thing to do. There really isn't any deterrent or negativity of being nice. If there is it is minimum in comparison. The main thing is whether or not you allow others to take advantage of it, and even then there isn't much to lose from it when in the face of other alternatives. Even if you fail to succeed at what you were trying to accomplish there's still lessons within that time to learn from if you allow yourself to do so. I think given the outcome and reasonings this case is a good example of that to prove otherwise. Especially since someone else here commented previously supporting that basis of debate. Yes they had to deal with the aftermath, but the other course would have led them to an even greater loss where they wouldn't even be able to have a chance to fix the damages. Even in critical moments being nice provides a calm demeanor that allows the person to think and react more appropriately to the situation. You can still defend yourself be it with words or action. Most other emotions would get you in trouble/may cause you to react in a way that ends up being more at a cost. People like this count on others to react poorly so they can continue to utilize the law in their favor whereas others who react in retaliation have the disadvantage of playing into the other person's hand. In this case, the squatters.
Reminds me of story here in the UK...a good Samaritan woman befriended a rough sleeper and gave him a room in her house, and he eventually murdered her and her young son. Fortunately her older daughter was away at uni. The poor girl says she feels really alone in the world now 😢
My step dad rents a room to this guy and he NEVER be in the kitchen cooking or going through the fridge He has a portable stovetop and a mini fridge and a microwave in his room.. he has everything he needs in his room That’s how it should be when renting to strangers
Btw, she lives in Lynchburg Virginia on Lakeview drive and her name is Katherina. Don’t stay in her insect infested home if u are considering it. Such a crazy woman! Her house was filthy and infested w crickets and spiders
@d b if you don't think someone should get a refund for shoddy products/services, then you're an idiot who deserves expensive and horrible products/services
She tried to make some extra unreported income by going away from the airbnb website and go cash-only... just to save paying some tax. She ended up paying much more!
I'm out of Vancouver, BC and her "culture" does this ALL THE TIME. Bring "kash". It's engrained as the lowest common denominator is the "model". Just as in the highest order is the Japanese "model'. This culture in endemic in BC and this is the way the roll: race to the bottom, in business, rents, a employee pay.
I've heard of nightmarish occurrences even when homeowners stayed within the confines of AirBnB. I would NOT rent a house to ANYBODY, either privately or through an agency.
Renting out your investment property is not a good business model. With maintenance and capital depreciation, the income is not a good return on investment and that is not even factoring in vandalism and destruction of your assets.
This happened to my uncle. He lived in Mexico and was renting out a home in Texas. The tenants were a family of 4(parents and two kids). They started off paying late, then skipped on months, and finally stopped paying for over a year. Police wouldn’t do anything about it because the owner was out of the country. Eventually they ended up leaving BUT not without first setting the kitchen on FIRE! They were so afraid of the fire department and police showing up that they left in a hurry. The inside of the home was destroyed, walls torn up, animal(maybe human) feces on the floor, and trash everywhere. Literally the worst nightmare
Yeah, with some people it's, "not my house, not my problem" kind of deal. I've known a few people like that who allowed their dog to pee on the floor and didn't clean it up and wouldn't take their dog outside to go poop. And they walked through the house barefoot. This person lived there for 5 years walking through their dog's pee and poop barefoot.
I grew up in the hood so I still have hood connections. Don't want to leave my property and I promise you you will be removed by force, no law enforcement involved.
I don’t understand the part about them refusing to be served. The law says as long as the server found you and inform you that you’ve been served, even if you refuse to take the paper, the server can just drop it by your feet and you are still legally served. The video is clear evidence they have been served. The server doesn’t seem to understand the law and keep hoping they will actually take the paper, but that’s not required.
Amen. No doubt, especially as I watch them cooking in ur kitchen, using ur shower and hot water, walking around in their boxers all day, lounging on ur couch, having parties in ur house. Washing all their dirty clothes, and when u leave the house for work they're definitely gonna search every nook in cranny in ur spot! I'd def say, things could get hectic real quick
That already happen a tenant that refused to leave was beating to dead by 4 guys. They did try everything to get him to leave but he wouldn’t leave he did want to be homeless on the street.
To be honest this was stupid of her, my dad rents his house but we are not there and he empty’s the fridge and locks some of the doors like the rooms they don’t need to be in such as pantry
Unfair Treatment and Lack of Customer Support: Our Airbnb Nightmare We had a bad experience with an Airbnb booking. We initially paid for a room with a double bed, but the host later informed us that it was only for one person. They demanded an additional $40 per day for each extra person, which was not clearly mentioned in the listing. Since we booked the room for a month, this meant an extra cost of $1200, which we can't afford. It feels like the host intentionally misled us. We requested a refund due to the lack of prior information, but the host refused to refund the fee for the first 30 days and the service fee. We are disappointed with Airbnb's customer service as well. Despite contacting them multiple times, they have not effectively resolved our issue or protected our rights as customers. We feel helpless and urge all customers to unite and fight for their rights. If we don't speak up, others may also face similar problems. Let's take action and raise awareness.
The first thing that would have happened is a chain would have gone up around that fridge. No more food in the house for them. Next door removed from their room, water turned off to all but my own bathroom which would be deadbolted. Then music would be blasted at all hours day and night. That would be a start for me, by the end they were begging to leave.
I think that you'd start dealing with some legal problems after that. I think they might be able to sue you for unlivable conditions or something like that.
I was thinking something similar. Remove all doors, change locks, remove all of my valuable belongings, turn off utilities, do whatever it takes to make it uncomfortable for them. But the best advice is to NEVER let any one move in with you unless you are willing to have them stay (for free). The only time it's "safe" is when you are a renter and you can move out at the end of your lease.
during covid no one had to pay rent for like 8 months. It was illegal to evict anyone. So alot of people were stuck in this situation for months and yes, you could be sued for "emotional damage" of having no door, they could go out to eat every day and sue you for how much it cost, you would get the cops called for disturbing the peace. In almost every state you have to have a months notice. Why people who get evicted get sympathy idk they got a free months rent essentially. Then if they pay any % of it they can basically cancel it because usually (depending on the state) the document says a specific amount and if its not that amount owed it gets thrown out. Then if you pay the months rent that was due at the end of the month it also negates it and they have to restart the process. I feel nothing but pity for the landlord that has to evict a tenant.
She should never have taken payment outside of Airbnb. One could argue, convincingly in a court of law, that Airbnb has nothing to do with her problem.
I had a scary Airbnb experience too, only I was the renter! I had rented from this guy who had two cats. He wanted someone to rent his place and take care of the cats because he was away. He insisted that I feed his cats only RAW meet. I thought it was weird and creepy. The cats were very strange. I grew up with cats and was a nursing mother to lots of kittens, sick, or injured cats. My house was like an animal shelter. My Mum has a good heart, so we took em all in. Point is, I KNOW cats, and these cats just weren't right. I don't know what he was doing to them. Anyway, about one week into staying there, he told me he was coming to town and he needed to share his place with me for one night. I was naive and said okay but something just didn't feel right. The bedroom was designed differently. Sure it had a door, but one of the walls had a HUGE opening in it to the living room, so there was no privacy. I told a friend of mine what was happening and asked him if I could stay with him for one night, he said "Of course!". When the guy came to town, I told him that I was staying elsewhere to give him his space, and that he could have his apartment to himself (even though I had paid for it). He insisted for us to meet up, but when I told him that my friend would give me a ride, his energy shifted. He told me that he didn't feel well, and that he had decided to stay another night "You should come stay here" he said. I told him not to worry about it. The next day, he insists again to see me, "I want to show you something in my apartment" he said. I had a knot in my stomach, I just knew something wasn't right. I decided not to mention my friend this time and told him that I would meet up with him. I told my friend what was happening and asked him to come with me. He did. When we got to the building, the guy thought that I had Ubered. When he saw my friend with me, his mood changed, he face changed color, and he got MAD. We walk into the apartment and he goes like "Look I cleaned the balcony, this is the shower, this is the kitchen" I'm looking at my friend like "Is he serious right now?". Long story short, before you know it, he was attacking my friend "You don't live here, you're trespassing". He pushed my friend outside and locked the door with me inside. Thankfully, my friend is an athlete and is very strong, so it wasn't easy to push him out, it took a while, and during that time I managed to called 911 and give the address. Once my friend was out, he yelled off of the top of his head and viciously kicked the door over and over again, this got the attention of the neighbors and the guy inside who had started walking towards me got scared. He walked back to the door and opened it. BIG mistake. My friend kicked the door into his chest and made his way in. The neighbours had called the manager by now and the guy had no other option but to let me get my stuff and leave. He then quickly took his strange unfriendly cats, ran into his car and drove away before the cops showed up. I feel very lucky, and very grateful for my wonderful friend and for my intuition. My advice to all of you is, avoid Airbnb, you never know what kind of freak you're renting from or to. And always listen to your intuition. If something doesn't feel right, it properly isn't. This man had bad intentions. Rape, murder, kidnapping, only the Divine knows...Be aware, be careful, be safe ❤️

Prophet seven it’s entirely about greed. She booked through Airbnb to get their procedures, then wrote up a lease agreement without doing the proper background checks you HAVE TO DO every time you rent to someone. Clearly she was not knowledgeable in the industry and had no fucking clue what so was doing and therefor she shouldn’t have been renting her house out period.
I was thinking of it today. Its illegal to change the locks. But I repulse blast the music as loud as I could I would put eye drops in the food. I would put poisen ivy on the door handle (yeah it would suck but I'd deal with it) I would hire creepy men on craigslist to come into the home that could possibly rape or murder the girls while I wasnt home I would throw knives randomly into the wall out of the blue (cant do it near them its illegal) I would buy live lice which is a thing and threaten to unleash it if they dont leave I would tell the police they threatened to stab me I pour ketchup all over what little belongings they had. If they tried to mess something of mine up I'd act like fooseytube and make them afraid of me. Yep :)

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the idea of residing in a strangers house? I think it’s so weird.

I’m sorry but if somebody is not getting out my house I’m not paying then 1,700 to leave. One call to my brothers and it’s a wrap
Word!! 😂
i’m saying
Your brothers can possibly get killed and tenants get your house just for you sending them... (No pun intended) Js ... It is commifornia/DACAfornia/mexifornia after all 🤷🏽♂️ you legally can't kick them out so therefore it means you can't touch them either.
My type of taking care of business 😉
Lol! If it was me, I wouldn't care! They certainly won't stay in my house if I don't want them there! I'll make sure of that!
You never take cash from someone who wants to extend. I always tell every person that new guests are coming that same day they are suppose to check out. I get them out by noon and tell them new guest are checking in at 3:00 so I need to have the place clean(even if I don't have any guest coming). One time a couple looked suspicious and weren't making any attempt to leave, I had 2 friends show up with suitcases as if the were checking in. That got the couple to pack and leave.
Yep, just tell them politely...re-book if you want to extend your stay. If they complain about the fee, well, I guess they don't want to extend their stay that bad.
Can honestly just hire 2 bodyguards to get them and throw them out on the street, on their a-s.
Would that work on leeches?
Bring two friends with suitcases full of guns next
In these types of cases why can't you just call the police to harrass or scare them into leaving?? I don't know the rules or laws concerning something like this.
This happened to my coworker who rented her house to provide for her 2 handicapped children. The squatters slashed her tires, broke everything inside the house, poured soil into the garbage disposal, and did so much damage that my coworker cried for days. It cost my coworker $90K to get rid of them in the end. Only in California where criminals have more freedom than taxpaying citizens.
$90K is a bid much. Maybe you meant $9K instead?
Then the renters committed a criminal act and the cops would have been able to arrest them. Your whole story sounds fishy.
Give me their names, I’ll put on a mask and I’ll break them. They’ll never do that again.
If you can’t get rid of non-paying leaching squatters go buy some Raid roach foggers. Wait in the middle of the night or until they’re sleep and place the foggers outside their bedroom door, hopefully it’s cracked open and
wherever. Set them off and Make sure you leave the house and have somewhere to go. That’ll choke their asses in their sleep and give them permanent health problems. I betcha they leave then and if they ask why you set it off at night just say oh it was quiet in the house you didn’t think they was there and roaches do come out at night. Lol. Sorry bastards.
This is why I’m very funny about allowing someone to live with me because people have a lot of never when they get a little power.
The moral of the story is. Don’t ever break contract and go solo. No matter how tempting it might seem you lose all your protection.
At least in California lol
The corporate bullshit news tried to blame california humane law as the problem. The problem happened when they tried to go outside air bnb.
@@b3at2 But clearly the law, and the way it is enforced is a very real problem.
A verbal agreement of cash payment is no legally binding lease or sub lease.
So technically they were guests, not residents, who were then refusing to leave.
Meaning they were trespassing on private property. But the law treated them as tenants, despite any legal tenant or lease agreement.
J J real talk
@@ericcollins6231 Those guest got the owners to go outside air BnB for a reason...and it shows.. to take advantage.. the problem is not the law...its people breaking air BnB rules.

Sounds like that couple are professional squatters. They should have showed their faces.
That was my thought when I first read the title
California is too big of a liberal shithole to show the faces of these "free living people"
She definitely got scammed. The homeowner lost her legal protections by accepting cash when their Airbnb expired instead of extending their stay. She saw green and so did they.
What would happen if they showed the faces? Pretty much most of that list after "people that don't live anywhere near there won't like those people" is stuff you would like to avoid if you are a news outlet. . .
You are right, they know about the legal loophole of the tenant-landlord law.
She did not have an Air BNB nightmare. “...weeks into the contract, agreeing to a cash only payment, not involving Air BNB.”
This has nothing to do with Air BNB.

It's the lady's fault. She signed a contract without educating herself on the laws. The 30 days notice for renting is meant to make it so landlords can't kick you out without notice.
Had to do it here in Jamaica too. It was a ridiculous experience. Because the 30 days notice.
California
why do news people blur their faces? show their faces so that they wouldn't be able to do this thing again.
Criminals are protected so the real criminals that make the laws are allowed to do far more to America while they tie the hands of it's public slaves.
^ In this case, they weren't criminals. What they did can be viewed as "morally wrong", but, as you heard, their actions were legal by California's standards. The couple could be there up to 30 days. The woman paid them off because she was aware that them staying was totally legal- but she PERSONALLY no longer wanted them there. People need to take this as a learning lesson; if you rent out with Airbnb, stick within their contracts. When you go into other territories and extend stays outside of them, it's YOUR own fault. If she hadn't done that and the people refused to leave, she could have called the police and they would have had to go. People need to read the fine print and take responsibility of their stupid actions.
To the best of my knowledge, each state has different laws concerning showing images without consent
so they don't get sued.
easy just to kill them and put them in a hole few 100 miles in the woods
This is the world we live in now folks, get comfortable. I've been in her situation before, actually more than once -- I will never do it again, no matter what hard luck story they give me. I couldn't give a flying flip how bad their situation is. I'm done helping the downtrodden, homeless and addicted. They've ruined it for decent individuals who are really down on their luck and could use a helping hand.
Agree!! I don't fall for the hard luck cries anymore. I now say, "TOO BAD, I DON'T CARE"
If your renting you better have no heart or you will either die or lose your house
Agreed. I'm a landlord, and I've learned whenever someone begins a conversation with a down-on-their-luck/woe-is-me story, it's an instant NO.
Something similar happened to me this weekend. A lady who was supposed to check-out at 11 am maximum ended up checking out at 5:30 pm. From that morning she asked to extend her reservation for two more nights which I agreed to her request… she kept putting on excuses not to pay saying the system didn’t notified her etc… at 3:30 pm Airbnb’s Ambassador tells me she is not willing to cooperate and she yelled on the phone to him saying she was shopping and she didn’t had time to attend the call. The Ambassador recommends me to set on the security alarm, which as soon as I turned it on she begs me to turn it off telling me she will be out of the house in 15 mins (she obviously lied about doing shopping and was actually at the house). I don’t understand how this lady stayed for 6 hours after check-out time without any guilt. She started insulting me calling me every bad word you could imagine, threatening me that she would sued me because I forced her to leave my home with her children. I don’t live in the same city as the house. I did what I could to prevent her staying for free. The police told me what she did was trespassing because she had no authorization to be at someone else’s property since check-out time had passed. I am traumatized by this and hopefully it never happens again.
All I can say is if I was in this situation I would be in jail right now.
I would have thrown their asses out

Guess what… in many states you will have this nightmare. I’m in Texas and my renter’s GIRLFRIEND, not even on the lease, took over, changed locks, set a mattress on fire. My friend called police and handed me the phone, I said hi I’m the homeowner, no one is renting my home, this girl can’t in any way prove she lives there. They said we can’t get involved, get a lawyer. Of course like everyone I thought I’m going to drag her out by her hair. But some good friends sat me down and explained why I was not going to go near her. She DESTROYED my place. I did get a lawyer, he waited around to serve her and lucky me she did open the door. So I didn’t fly down to drag her out. I was renting to be with a dying parent, the lawyer said don’t spend more money, you’d win but she’ll never pay it. Later Facebk said “is this your friend?” And I quickly (and wisely) deleted and did not want to know where she lived or anything that could have made me lose it. I worked really hard on releasing my anger over that. The truth is Airbnb is great bc people don’t want a bad review, especially if you’re in a hot spot. This poor woman, people are broken, some do not care and are walking around soulless and sick.
Next time remove the door or doors to the apartment, cut of the electric and water, and let the scamers take you to court. Guess what they will not, and you live in Texas I though you guys were all so tough?
@@vietnamvet4533 actually it was a bunch of ex vets, recovered junky guys in. Hutch next to me that said F no, you’re not going to drag then out bc I had planned on doing that.

There could be a bunch of drug dealers, who now live in there…gangbangers or whatever, and said, do you not go there and sneak in like your planning and putting them out, you could go to jail over this and you don’t want to, they sat me down and I have a do a four step on this. they taught me so much and they taught me that I had to get rid of the anger, so I listen to them I got a lawyer and I got them out the right way I guess. Believe me, I still wanted to go in there and get them. has nothing to do with being tough. It was logic and those guys helped me so much. Peace to you brother because if youre an ex vet, much respect to you.. I had to listen to them. No one could’ve reached me the way they did. It was so kind. I almost wish I was an ex addict because that church was so cool. They had meetings there. I just worked in the kitchen they were cool guys. It was beautiful actually. They do anger and they said we are not letting you go to jail over this. They said we do a four step because we cannot live with the kind of anger we have so we’re constantly using this thing called a forth step. It’s sad what was your part in it and I couldn’t believe that question I was like nothing they were aSHoles! But by the end of sitting there with them, they make me understand their point. It was to not have anger.
the way to solve this problem is... DON'T RENT YOUR HOME

One punch should sort that. Too middle class, blatantly.
I once phoned the police to get rid of someone unpaying (and his friend) but this was after waiting months and complaining to our landlord (I was also a tenant) and there was drug usage involved too
Because while they pay rent... it is theirs. She didn't make very many specifications in the agreement. That's her own damn fault
@@outlawJosieFox That would be stupid... the law is always on the criminal's side these days. Making that mistake would end up with her being removed from the house and charged probably. It's hardly fair but this is the world we live in now.

Living in California is risky. The government in California is not on your side.
Proud American wrong, Airbnb is designed against this flaw so California Laws are. It relevant until she decided to rent to them herself without doing any checks. Airbnb has a nonpayment policy where you can absolutely kick them out WITHOUT 30 day notice after nonpayment. That’s why you don’t rent a house unless you know the housing industry and learn HOW TO RENT A HOUSE.

It’s called victim shaming and it’s the fundamental flaw with all of you liberal idiots.

and yet others blamed airbnb for the bad decision of the host
She can pay me and ill beat them up real fast.
Larissa LeAnn perfect analysis
stupidity = greed
Precisely
"Transitioning to a cash only payment" - sounds like she was trying to cut Airbnb out of the deal AND avoid paying federal taxes. Going rogue is very risky...
go rogue go broke.
Yep totally back fired
Should have saw that coming Poonam.
Americans so lame.. like taxes are used for anything.
@@SpeakSteph awwwwe shut your ass UP!!! Go get them pots to rattling
She went wrong when she went off when she went for the cash funds. Her own greed doomed her to these people who knew the laws in her state. Airbnb is only one of the many short term rental portals. When a greedy owner forgoes their protections the consequences are on them. You got me to click on this, so good for you. No respect for the homeowner trying to cut out her protections for 3% more. Shameful
There is a man squating in my moms home now for 7 days. He keeps asking for a mailing address.
Its happen to my dad on 2 Occasions, Where the squatter gets a restraining order against him. He had to pay the bills and was not allowed to go back to his home.
Giving someone a warm bed and hot food because you feel sorry for their situation. Is not a good idea
This happened to a friend of mine and he would cut the breakers of anything they tried to use and had a lock on the box. No hot showers, no oven, no washer and dryer, he got a small fridge for his room and cut the breakers to the kitchen, he cut the cable and wifi to their bedroom, they left within 2 weeks. As long as the electricity and water are on its completely legal to control the breakers in your home no matter who lives there.
Lol I love your friend
That’s a smart man
It's sad to have to do that in your own home though. At least it didn't go on that long.
I would add to that making sure tgey woke up at all sorts of odd hours, but I can easily do that. I have very bad sleep habits and only need 6 hours a night
This is so awesome! Thank you!
What does this have to do with Airbnb? The owner went outside the system so she don't have to pay Airbnb fee. That's what you get for being greedy!
Starfish humans are greedy. very good example
You are correct this is not an Airbnb problem. This is just another example of the media distorting the truth for it's own agenda to take away personal rights. The homeowner stepped outside of Airbnb's guidelines.
This is exactly why you want to go through airbnb. They have the ability to back you up when stuff like this happens
Next she will probably be trying to sue Airbnb.
It's clickbate
If you’re this trusting with strangers living with you, why not go the extra mile and do a background check on them?
The NERVE on these people!!
Only a matter of time when they step their ass in a wrong person's house
And they end up in someone's basement / refrigerator.
Yea yea yea blah blah blah. Touch them they will sue you for so much they might even own the house. Their is legal process of eviction. Sucks it's the law.
@@rogeliocorona6837 That's why i said a WRONG person's house. There is literally a dude who killed three teenagers over a stupid prank (they buzzed and then ran away the the guy got in the car and ran them over)

Yeah, I’d definitely have some hood dudes come & beat some ass
Kinda wondering the same 🤔
All she had to do was call a male friend/family member to come over to force these bums out
Males are excluded from California law?
Nobody is excluded from California law, buuuuuut it’s going to be hard for squatters to prove you hired a alpha friend that respects a ladies space to come teach them some manners. You can’t prosecute someone if you don’t know who they are just turn the cameras off. No lawyers going to take this case without evidence or a down payment. It’s sad they take advantage of a already sad situation, then proceed to scam her into paying them more then they owed her for the rental to begin with, it’s a lesson learned though because it’s her fault for voiding the Airbnb contract.
Since there’s no record of them ever getting a rental on Airbnb then there’s no evidence you ever accepted their cash or made a agreement. If they call the cops just deny the rental arrangement, say they are robbing your house, and that you’ve never seen them before in your life.
@@BPtruth I agree 100%. Really it could have been a more simpler resolution: Have male associate come over, "Hey, my female friend and I would like some privacy. Please leave.". *Sternly*. These bums would not have the heart to challenge the male (or males) to a confrontation. That along with the bums' lack of any legal proof that they have rights to the home would surely be enough persuasion for them to leave.
@Casey Christian props 💯. At that point, it's a bully-yields-to-bigger-bully type of situation.
I watched a video about a similar occurrence a few months ago. Except this happened with a granny flat/guest house type property and the "guest" pulled the same scam, then proceeded to threaten the owner and try to write him up on things that weren't up to code. But when the owner tried to fix things to be compliant, she refused to let them in for the repairs. She ended up staying there for free for over 6 months I think. I can't remember what eventually forced her to move out but apparently she had pulled the same scam at her previous airbnb booking as well but that owner paid her to leave. So ridiculous.
This is the owner's fault - she agreed to go off-platform, thus removing all protections for herself.
This had nothing to do with Airbnb she became a landlord when she started collecting rent outside of the Airbnb deal.

@@redzoom7857 wait im confused, what happened, so she has a home and people rented it?

lolll underrated comment
Hahaha 🤣🤣, I laughed way too hard at this
Good one 👍 👏 👌
Yup and what a party that will be lol
Kinda along the same line is my story. I own a building with a few rental units. A bar, barber shop and two apartments. When I bought the place years ago I had a woman living in one of the apartments with two high school aged kids. She just stopped paying rent. I tried to evict her, but because of the liberal tennant favoring laws I couldn't. She wound up owing me about $6,000 by the time she moved out. She tried to get my building into the rent-assist program but I refused. Once you get in that program you're pretty much screwed. So, I had to eat the $6k.
Fast forward a couple years. Another woman moves in. She lasts about 3 months then stops paying rent, while proudly driving her Mercedes around town. I drive a Chevy. By the time she moved out she owed me about $3k.
Another tennant I had during Covid. He stopped paying rent. When asked, he said that I couldnt evict him because of covid, and he was correct, even though he was working EXTRA HOURS at the time. And, when he got his "stimulus" check I didnt see a dime. He ended up owing me $5k by the time he left. We had some mutual friends that didnt like the crap he was pulling on me. One day they showed up at the apartment and moved all his crap out, along with his worthless a$$. I had NOTHING to do with that.
So, when people bitch about rent prices going sky high, remember these stories. One of the reasons rent prices are so high... laws that allow this type of crap to happen. So far I've lost my a$$ on those apartments, and I have to make my money up somehow. The other tennants HAVE to pay their rent. Being businesses I can boot them in a heartbeat.
I count myself lucky because the only two renter experiences were awful, so I never even consider renting out anything ever again! People who do it are rolling the dice, and these days one can only imagine the population of the despicable humans has grown. Now, i get nervous about neighbors who have an air bnb. Not too bright of an idea if a bad egg of a human shows up.
You should have never accepted direct money. Lesson here is follow policy. Stick to that and you’ll be safe.
Perfect

Thanks everybody! :)
Exactly that’s what they get for trying to be a sneaky cunt and not use the website
What she should’ve done is keep through Airbnb for $1 a night and take the rest as cash. That way it’s still “official”
Similar thing happened to my sister. She had a friend from work stay with her, because she needed help, and when my sister returned from a weekend in Vegas, the friend boyfriend was at her house living there. My sister told her she cant have him living in her house, and they threaten her that they will call the cops, because she pays half the rent. Well, this was a not a signed documented agreement kind of thing, and when our family heard about what happened..It did not sit well with my brothers. They went to have the couple removed and they locked the bedroom door on them. One of my brothers kicked the door open, and they tried to call the cops but my brothers took their phones and busted it, and had them out with their belongings in matters of 10 minutes. They did call the cops from someone else's phone, and my sister spoke with the cops and told them that she dont live there, and was there for a weekend only, and she did not pay rent. The couple couldn't prove that they were living with her, and so the cops had them escorted off the property. My sister did lie to the cops, but she knew that they couldn't prove anything, and didnt want to deal with the bs of their damn rights..Give a person an inch, and they take a yard! Lesson learned!

it says right in the clip: she broke the AirBnB contract to go to cash only. she threw any protections she had out the window.
it is unfortunate that people don't know their rights and get taken advantage of by people who do. be very familiar with your rights especially when it comes to something that can financially ruin you.
The same thing is happening in Canada.... professional squatters who have been living in other peoples' homes for YEARS not months with out paying a cent. The law is on the side of the tenant.
Hire someone to get rid of them and let them hire a lawyer!!!!
Its her fault for switching to cash only. She was protected when using the airbnb TOS. The moment you cut then out. Youre on your own. And california is notorious for making almost impossible to evict people.
@Dyno Spectrum yes it is lmao
I’m curious why it’s almost impossible?
My family has been evicted once and we have the 30 day notice law here as well.
But when we where evicted we didn’t get a note and the place just said “uhhm yea we did, now you’re going to court because you didn’t leave” giving them a solid case.

Worked for Airbnb and Property Managements, this is what happens when you go on your own. Always stay within your rental agreement on the booking platforms. Always communicate with the guests WITHIN THE PLATFORM. The host disregarded these things which made her ineligible for Airbnb's Host Insurance Policy which could've covered her.
You look like a Filipina actress named Thea Tolentino😃
Thank you for clearing up this bs story.
@@angelmedina2762 I caught that and was like ummm the host has some major responsibility in why they stayed longer. They didn't even ask her why she was okay with that.
I once had a dispute with a host and Airbnb 100% had my back because everything happened on the platform. You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
Getting your own rental agreement and covering yourself legally is not that hard. Airbnb and company’s like that don’t have some special ability to do something you can’t. In Commi California A rental company would have been legally tied up by the 30 day eviction notice as well. This whole thing is a twist on the situation to make people think they can’t do things on their own.
I like how the attorney says they have to find a new place to live and that's expensive. You mean more expensive than free????
He’s talking about the law. Many people rent homes in California because homes at expensive and all the rich people already bought them all(good luck Texas and the rest of the states where these rich people are now moving their businesses to, you’ll have the same problems soon enough). For a normal person who isn’t scamming or trying to do anything wrong, getting evicted overnight is horrible and it can take time to find another affordable place to live so 30 days is reasonable. In a situation like this, well, it’s the homeowners fault for making their home a hotel to begin with.
@@scottnunnemaker5209 yeah it is expensive. They're not paying anything now so yeah, more expensive than free!!!!
Lol. I mean i do agree with the attorney, life is hard and i personally don't think its necessarily a bad law but i thought that applied to actual renters but i guess they technically were .but it doesn't mean u can abuse it and at that point prison should be waiting for them after especially if they ruin the place. Although probably 30days is too long in general but altho it sucks ,I do believe the law should allow responsible people a few days or a week before having to leave by force
I think he meant expensive for the home owner
Lol
do not airbnb rooms fall into the same category as hotel rooms and cops must evict without a court order?
Right! Stuff just be ridiculous.
I once had a client who had this same problem. The police always said it was a civil issue. I told the client to find four of the meanest looking dudes and invite them to ‘move in’ with the squatters and make life miserable for them. They dominated the bathrooms, the beds and the kitchen. When the squatters called police to complain, the police told them it’s a civil matter. The squatters were gone within 48 hours.
Wait this is beautiful lol
Then the mean dudes become squatters... then you get 8 of the meanest looking dudes you can find... then...

That’s insane. Who would do that but honestly, people getting greedy and renting a room to strangers. That’s ridiculous. I’ve seen some rental ads for a bedroom for 1500-2000. For a bedroom!!
A while back in Poland there was that story of a couple who stopped paying the rent but wouldn't move out of the property, the law standing on their side. So the owner posted an ad online to rent his apartment once more, this time free of charge, but specifically catered to declared heavy party people who obliged to make the life of anybody staying in that apartment a living mess. Needless to say, the couple who overstayed moved out after 2 days or so. That was completely legal, too.
HAHAHAHA 😅🤣😂

I've been in a similar situation. The law was on their side so I shut off my electricity, water, everything. We had a nice little camp out for about a week. I think what finally made them leave was me singing my version of 'Opera' as loud as possible whenever I was home.
It's sad you actually had to do that! But good job lol
I would've watched adult films as loud as possible on a speaker until they left. In case you get tired of singing
The thing is they can easily put the utilities back under their names. It happened to me.
@@fabiolasandoval6318 what????????? WOW 😣. At this point I would never let strangers into my home. Heck, I have some relatives that I would never let live with me. People are so entitled nowadays. Smfh
I just made a comment about forcing them on their own to leave!! I’m glad you were able to think of something I think the law is ridiculously ignorant sometimes.
In this videos case I would not have spent my own money for them to leave. 😩
They saw that she was sweet, and law abiding and decided to walk all over her. If she was a nuisance herself, yelling at them and complaining all day at them, maybe they would have left. How can people just be milling around your house when you don't want them there? Take their stuff, put it outside, lock the door, and don't let them back. She wasn't aggressive to deal with that creepy couple. I would be so furious with them pawing through my food and walking around half nude.
I had a similar tenant and my eviction lawyer said if I take out her stuffs and change the lock, I would be breaking the law and the nonpaying tenant would be able to sue me and win the case. I had to wait for the slow eviction process to run its course while she stays rent free and breaking my walls, painting graffiti on doors and stealing roommates’ properties. The police came many times and couldn’t do anything with her. That’s the reality faced by many landlords in California
She was most likely advised by a lawyer to not engage and to ride it out the way she did so as not to cause more liability on her side. That way the law directly deals with the squatters rather than it potentially backfire. Clearly it's not their first rodeo, and just because you're nice and timid doesn't mean you're weak/vulnerable/unable to do anything about the situation. Just means work smart not hard.
@@EeliusAstaroth When you are around certain people, being nice doesn't pay.
@@Babu-kr3cr depends on your perspective and how well you handle the situation. In this case obviously it quite literally pays as she is in favor of the law thanks to her niceties rather than against. Otherwise, you can retain boundaries while still being nice, and people forget to distinguish the two as they sacrifice their protection while simultaneously putting the blame on their behavior when it's not actually the case. It's simply the easier thing to do. There really isn't any deterrent or negativity of being nice. If there is it is minimum in comparison. The main thing is whether or not you allow others to take advantage of it, and even then there isn't much to lose from it when in the face of other alternatives. Even if you fail to succeed at what you were trying to accomplish there's still lessons within that time to learn from if you allow yourself to do so. I think given the outcome and reasonings this case is a good example of that to prove otherwise. Especially since someone else here commented previously supporting that basis of debate. Yes they had to deal with the aftermath, but the other course would have led them to an even greater loss where they wouldn't even be able to have a chance to fix the damages. Even in critical moments being nice provides a calm demeanor that allows the person to think and react more appropriately to the situation. You can still defend yourself be it with words or action. Most other emotions would get you in trouble/may cause you to react in a way that ends up being more at a cost. People like this count on others to react poorly so they can continue to utilize the law in their favor whereas others who react in retaliation have the disadvantage of playing into the other person's hand. In this case, the squatters.
Honestly, in most situations like this a friend of a friend would get them booted out---ACTUALLY without violence
If that was my house, I'd have a party every night until they moved out. She's too timid. It's her house...move in with a stack of friends.

Renting out your investment property is not a good business model. With maintenance and capital depreciation, the income is not a good return on investment and that is not even factoring in vandalism and destruction of your assets.
This happened to my uncle. He lived in Mexico and was renting out a home in Texas. The tenants were a family of 4(parents and two kids). They started off paying late, then skipped on months, and finally stopped paying for over a year. Police wouldn’t do anything about it because the owner was out of the country. Eventually they ended up leaving BUT not without first setting the kitchen on FIRE! They were so afraid of the fire department and police showing up that they left in a hurry. The inside of the home was destroyed, walls torn up, animal(maybe human) feces on the floor, and trash everywhere. Literally the worst nightmare
Yeah, with some people it's, "not my house, not my problem" kind of deal. I've known a few people like that who allowed their dog to pee on the floor and didn't clean it up and wouldn't take their dog outside to go poop. And they walked through the house barefoot. This person lived there for 5 years walking through their dog's pee and poop barefoot.

I don’t understand the part about them refusing to be served. The law says as long as the server found you and inform you that you’ve been served, even if you refuse to take the paper, the server can just drop it by your feet and you are still legally served. The video is clear evidence they have been served. The server doesn’t seem to understand the law and keep hoping they will actually take the paper, but that’s not required.

Amen. No doubt, especially as I watch them cooking in ur kitchen, using ur shower and hot water, walking around in their boxers all day, lounging on ur couch, having parties in ur house. Washing all their dirty clothes, and when u leave the house for work they're definitely gonna search every nook in cranny in ur spot! I'd def say, things could get hectic real quick

Unfair Treatment and Lack of Customer Support: Our Airbnb Nightmare
We had a bad experience with an Airbnb booking. We initially paid for a room with a double bed, but the host later informed us that it was only for one person. They demanded an additional $40 per day for each extra person, which was not clearly mentioned in the listing. Since we booked the room for a month, this meant an extra cost of $1200, which we can't afford. It feels like the host intentionally misled us. We requested a refund due to the lack of prior information, but the host refused to refund the fee for the first 30 days and the service fee. We are disappointed with Airbnb's customer service as well. Despite contacting them multiple times, they have not effectively resolved our issue or protected our rights as customers. We feel helpless and urge all customers to unite and fight for their rights. If we don't speak up, others may also face similar problems. Let's take action and raise awareness.

The first thing that would have happened is a chain would have gone up around that fridge. No more food in the house for them. Next door removed from their room, water turned off to all but my own bathroom which would be deadbolted. Then music would be blasted at all hours day and night. That would be a start for me, by the end they were begging to leave.
I think that you'd start dealing with some legal problems after that. I think they might be able to sue you for unlivable conditions or something like that.
Blanca, I like your style.
I was thinking something similar. Remove all doors, change locks, remove all of my valuable belongings, turn off utilities, do whatever it takes to make it uncomfortable for them. But the best advice is to NEVER let any one move in with you unless you are willing to have them stay (for free). The only time it's "safe" is when you are a renter and you can move out at the end of your lease.
during covid no one had to pay rent for like 8 months. It was illegal to evict anyone. So alot of people were stuck in this situation for months and yes, you could be sued for "emotional damage" of having no door, they could go out to eat every day and sue you for how much it cost, you would get the cops called for disturbing the peace. In almost every state you have to have a months notice. Why people who get evicted get sympathy idk they got a free months rent essentially. Then if they pay any % of it they can basically cancel it because usually (depending on the state) the document says a specific amount and if its not that amount owed it gets thrown out. Then if you pay the months rent that was due at the end of the month it also negates it and they have to restart the process. I feel nothing but pity for the landlord that has to evict a tenant.

I had a scary Airbnb experience too, only I was the renter! I had rented from this guy who had two cats. He wanted someone to rent his place and take care of the cats because he was away. He insisted that I feed his cats only RAW meet. I thought it was weird and creepy. The cats were very strange. I grew up with cats and was a nursing mother to lots of kittens, sick, or injured cats. My house was like an animal shelter. My Mum has a good heart, so we took em all in. Point is, I KNOW cats, and these cats just weren't right. I don't know what he was doing to them. Anyway, about one week into staying there, he told me he was coming to town and he needed to share his place with me for one night. I was naive and said okay but something just didn't feel right. The bedroom was designed differently. Sure it had a door, but one of the walls had a HUGE opening in it to the living room, so there was no privacy. I told a friend of mine what was happening and asked him if I could stay with him for one night, he said "Of course!". When the guy came to town, I told him that I was staying elsewhere to give him his space, and that he could have his apartment to himself (even though I had paid for it). He insisted for us to meet up, but when I told him that my friend would give me a ride, his energy shifted. He told me that he didn't feel well, and that he had decided to stay another night "You should come stay here" he said. I told him not to worry about it. The next day, he insists again to see me, "I want to show you something in my apartment" he said. I had a knot in my stomach, I just knew something wasn't right. I decided not to mention my friend this time and told him that I would meet up with him. I told my friend what was happening and asked him to come with me. He did. When we got to the building, the guy thought that I had Ubered. When he saw my friend with me, his mood changed, he face changed color, and he got MAD. We walk into the apartment and he goes like "Look I cleaned the balcony, this is the shower, this is the kitchen" I'm looking at my friend like "Is he serious right now?". Long story short, before you know it, he was attacking my friend "You don't live here, you're trespassing". He pushed my friend outside and locked the door with me inside. Thankfully, my friend is an athlete and is very strong, so it wasn't easy to push him out, it took a while, and during that time I managed to called 911 and give the address. Once my friend was out, he yelled off of the top of his head and viciously kicked the door over and over again, this got the attention of the neighbors and the guy inside who had started walking towards me got scared. He walked back to the door and opened it. BIG mistake. My friend kicked the door into his chest and made his way in. The neighbours had called the manager by now and the guy had no other option but to let me get my stuff and leave. He then quickly took his strange unfriendly cats, ran into his car and drove away before the cops showed up. I feel very lucky, and very grateful for my wonderful friend and for my intuition. My advice to all of you is, avoid Airbnb, you never know what kind of freak you're renting from or to. And always listen to your intuition. If something doesn't feel right, it properly isn't. This man had bad intentions. Rape, murder, kidnapping, only the Divine knows...Be aware, be careful, be safe ❤️
I don't doubt your story, however, a raw food diet for cats is not unusual. My Bengal cats eat raw food and was recommended by the breeder.
What a creeeeeepy story!!! 🤤
@@adevore1971 and you got left smelling like cat odor and that smell never really comes out of your stuff or suit cases or shoes and moving with any man is a big NO to begin with now i bet your scared of woman for no reason because this man put so much fear in one body and mind that even when a person would offer a flyer on the street you probably think the worst. i seen to many people effected like this and yet in the end still love men and think some how woman are even worst for years that they will end up on medication or need a therapist which is understandable but during this main time is to never target anything random of just it being harm to them or scared of life or people out of no where just by a bad experience and argument and yes i get it scary episode in life time. but many people carry a smile on there face and bring god into there life and love everyone and that's the people god loves not the ones for years effected and hate others who are not even the human not even related to this Guy?
also if someone does read this maybe just maybe stop and read and look at the world and then read it again instead of just being stupid saying WHAT? or what does this mean keep reading until you got it, if not then sorry this world took your mind and heart for anyone to not function
wtf
Homeowner needs to be more forceful. Make it unbearable for trespassers to stay. If it was happening in my house, those trespassers would be running down the street screaming from fright!
+Researcher its fucked up in California you get arrested for doing just that! They can sue you! Its fucked up thieves can do this to honest people! Scum bag tenants!
@@prophetseven728 all she had to do was not be greedy for a small percent of money and this never would have happened.
@@alexandercanella4479 No such thing as greedy! People that are broke or dont want to pay a fair price say that. Everyones greedy, because everyone wants to make more money. Nothing wrong with that! People breaking the law though. Should just get shot!
Prophet seven it’s entirely about greed. She booked through Airbnb to get their procedures, then wrote up a lease agreement without doing the proper background checks you HAVE TO DO every time you rent to someone. Clearly she was not knowledgeable in the industry and had no fucking clue what so was doing and therefor she shouldn’t have been renting her house out period.
I was thinking of it today.
Its illegal to change the locks. But I repulse blast the music as loud as I could I would put eye drops in the food.
I would put poisen ivy on the door handle (yeah it would suck but I'd deal with it)
I would hire creepy men on craigslist to come into the home that could possibly rape or murder the girls while I wasnt home
I would throw knives randomly into the wall out of the blue (cant do it near them its illegal)
I would buy live lice which is a thing and threaten to unleash it if they dont leave
I would tell the police they threatened to stab me
I pour ketchup all over what little belongings they had. If they tried to mess something of mine up I'd act like fooseytube and make them afraid of me.
Yep :)
I would never rent a home to anyone especially if I was still living in it!
