    I stayed at one air bnb, we had the air con on most the day. I didn't notice initially but by the end of the day I realised I'd didn't feel well. We ended up looking inside the air con and found it absolutely covered in mould. When we complained they were so damn rude. We complained to air bnb who could only give us a partial refund but that bnb is still operating. No health regulations at all.

    I stayed in an Airbnb for 2 weeks when I went to Japan in '16. The apartment was turned into a hostel. There were like 10 of us in total. My room alone had 6 of us in it (our beds were stacked like cubicles). The day I was leaving, I noticed the power was out. I just assumed there was a black out... nope! I was told that they were actually kicking out the tenant along with the guests. I then found out Airbnb was illegal in Japan at that time (not sure if it still is). I got lucky that I was already leaving but it sucked for the new guests coming in. Oh, and the host did what Adam mentioned. He rented out multiple apartments and turned them all into hostels.

    I stayed at an Airbnb in an one of those illegal airbnb hotel apartment buildings last year and it seemed pretty awesome at first. They had really good AC, nice balcony, a PS3, and then I realized that the sprinklers were about to fall out of the ceiling, and the floors were so dirty that all I had to do was lightly set a paper towel on the ground for it to be covered in dirt and dust. Sure, it was cheap, but I definitely didn’t feel safe. We ended up getting a room at the Omni a block down, which was 3x the price but a much better experience.

I did eventually check everything on my own and everything was old, told my boss and she replaced everything. But they never asked me to check anything nor did they check anything themselves.

    I lived in a condo in Thailand that expressly forbid AirBNB and similar services in its bylaws. A big reason for this was security: you had to scan your thumb to enter the building, you needed a key card registered to your name to use the elevator (which only let you to your floor), and you needed to enter a code on a keypad to enter your unit. Despite these bylaws, the scum of the earth still managed to AirBNB some of the units, making silicone imprints of their thumbs for guests. It was like living in a hotel. Then, a string of robberies occurred and it was discovered that the thief used a discarded silicone imprint to get in. That’s when security started to clamp down on it. I remember contacting AirBNB about it and they said something to the effect of not getting involved because they don’t enforce local laws or rules with their hosts. They really are just an app connecting people who need a room with people who have property.

    My dad and I run an Airbnb on the beach and we’ve had thousands of guests over the years. The worst “incident” we’ve had is someone stole all of our towels. Usually the city taxes us about 4,000 dollars a year just to keep our Airbnb. NOT ONCE have we had a health inspection or anything close to it conducted on our Airbnb. (of course we still keep it 100% sanitary) All we had to do to open our Airbnb was fill out some paperwork.

      pragya chamoli Yes, I realize that. Despite how biased some American laws are, the ones they pointed out were absolutely relevant, and reasonable. Like checking to make sure a home advertised on Air BNB is safe (as they point out in the video). Getting a rotten price deal is absolutely legal and relevant, as long as the seller doesn't do something preposterous, like change the price from the original listing, or charge you more than you were initially quoted. The seller has the right to charge you what they want. To charge obscenely high isn't illegal, but it's very unethical.

    When me and my friend's family visited the west coast, the host told us repeatedly to never say anything to the guard outside. When we first arrived we were confused by his instructions, and thought it was okay to ask the guard for basic directions but the host got frightened because of it. Later he asked me several times what exactly I said to the guard. At that point I was pretty sure he kept his Airbnb business away from the landlord.

I was looking up air bnbs in the area and saw this shady af listing claiming to be for their house. It had a horrible pic of some random house from across the street and like one pic that was the dining room for the couple's house. I knew it was fake, so I reported it. The site didn't take it down even though I typed in the notes that I knew the couple and they didn't rent their home out.

      @pixelfox9666 Před 6 lety +138

      In the example I read, the guest had leased the property for 44 days for an "extended business trip". After you have resided in a property for more than 30 days, you're legally considered a tenant and have rights. They're no longer an intruder, they're your tenant. The guys who did this, a pair of brothers, have perfected this technique and know their rights. The property owner couldn't call the police because they weren't doing anything (technically) illegal. Also, Airbnb didn't help as they did very little to back her up and were super slow with responding to her emails and phone calls. They made sure she was paid for the entire 44 days, but did nothing to help her get rid of her unwanted tenants beyond that time. She had to eventually hire a lawyer and go through the entire eviction process just as if they were renting an apartment.
      The moral of this story: if you're renting out your place on Airbnb, don't rent for longer than 30 days.

    I know some people who do exactly that: sign a lease for a home or an apartment and then sublease it via AirBnB and go for as long as they can until the owner catches on and terminates it for violation of contract. So when you hear about "big bad" cities cracking down on mom and pop homeowners who are just "trying to rent their living spaces to help pay the bills," that's actually a small number of AirBnB users. Many of them run the operation like a business, bringing in nuisances to residential areas and violating rental agreements.

They think it's great if anyone they rip off or lie to believes the best solution is just to shop elsewhere. You're helping the corporate thieves and dishonest business PR department by promoting their lies quite nicely. The more people like you repeating their PR the more money they can make from people like you. Presumably, you're just a dup and believe what you write.

    My grandmother rents out vacation homes and there's a lot of paperwork, laws, and insurance she has to deal with. I've heard her make some of these complaints about AirBnB, how they basically bypass every regulation about renting that people doing it legit have to deal with, and for a lower price. (Since they don't have pay insurance on anything.)

    I've used AirBNB and VRBO for years. I love it. Generally though, I only rent whole apartments. When you rent rooms, you have very mixed results. Some people clearly just want your money and don't like you in their space, and others are quite welcoming. I frequently need to work while traveling, and I find that virtually every hotel (even the nice ones) has a really horrible internet connection. These apartments almost always have some great residential internet connection that works great, and I love living in an actual neighborhood when I travel instead of a hotel. Check in/outs have always been super smooth and uneventful. My favorite places are where the owner lives there but is traveling for some time and rents their place out while they are gone.

    This, and the whole Adam Ruins Everything series, brings up some good, controversial topics and other data. Regardless of the sources, they are sources. So if anything I can appreciate this series because it teaches us to look critically at data and information, and even if these things are true, it shows us that we need to weigh the pros and cons. Yes, these bad things might happen, but just how large scale are they? Maybe they are enough to cause real concern, maybe not. The series teaches us to evaluate and accept arguments from opposing sides.

    I had this last time I went to Disneyland- we were in a condo complex and we were told on check-in that we were not to talk to any of the other tenants and never contact the front desk- because they knew they were not supposed to be running an Air B and B based off of the HOA rules
