In California, a savvy renter has not paid rent for 540 days. The owner of the AirBnb cannot have the person evicted because the home does not meet California compliance. The renter wants $100,000 to leave the residence. Interesting article some investors may want to read. There are nightmare tenants out there. Beware!

Wholly mackeral. Would think the owner needs to talk to a real estate attorney

I figured those who were interested could google the words California renter 540 days. I did not put up a link because there are several articles. Each provides information that is not found in the others.

If true, owner needs to hire Carmine and Guido.

You singled out one specific article. That indicates that you were referring to that one article that you singled out. When you do something like that, it helps to cite your source, so people can see which article you're talking about. If you weren't referring to one specific article, maybe you could've - y'know - not stated there was a singular article. Or said something like "several interesting articles".

Not surprised. I have lived beside a few problem renters. My heart goes out to the owner.

Airbnb Host Didn't Register Home Properly, Can't Remove 540-Day Guest

Has little to do with airbnb and much to do with unscrupulous renters and lawyers. Hate to see laws that were put in place to provide protection being used as weapons. Would like to think it is only California but have heard of squatter cases in many states.

[JGibson]

I know a neighbor in NY who didn't pay rent for 2 years and after going back and forth to court welfare ended paying the back 2 years of rent only for him to not pay rent for another 2 years before they were finally able to get the Marshall to come and evict him.

So 4 years of free rent. Folks know how to play the system in certain cities.

Nothing surprises me as to what happens in California!

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

These kinds of things don't only happen in California. And they don't only happen with AirBnB rentals for sure. Squatting is an age-old "tradition" and eviction laws exist to protect tenants from being unfairly thrown out of their apartments to make way for new tenants who pay higher rents. Unfortunately sometimes these laws go too far with their protections and end up shafting the landlord instead.

Seems like this was one extreme case with someone who has a history of abusing their status as a tenant. The things you learn when you go to Harvard. . .

[justjim]

No need to go to Harvard to learn how to “work” the system. They live among us!

Let's hope that she doesn't move to the Villages!

It’s not a nightmare tenant, it’s a stupid owner
