Bed was a mattress on a box spring and with a dust cover in place of the bedspread, tv did not work, rusted appliances, all in pictures he advertised as being like new. Can my friend sue him for false advertising or at the least, bait and switch?
if you paid with credit card you can contact them, (your cc company)they will most likely reimburse you for fraudulent advertising
unfortunately the owner of the house gets to keep the money also.
I would request a partial or total refund, if not take them to small claims court, now up to $10,000
make sure the renter has pictures and documented the home etc.
