Here's a scary story of an Airbnb host, a couple, who went to Burning Man and decided to rent out their apartment while they were gone. What could go wrong? Don't a lot of people rent out their place when they go out of town on vacation?
They rented to an Airbnb guest who turned around and put up his own listing of their apartment on Airbnb!! New kind of illegal subletting! He was trying to profit from their residence. Fortunately, Airbnb doesn't look kindly on such fraud and so they closed the account of the perpetrator. Read the story here:
