The Tale of Two Air BNBs

Happy Sunday Everyone! So I have another air bnb story for you. We are having problems again with the air bnb on one side of us. They have a new tenant in the property who has been walking their dogs all over our property two and three times a day. Our home is a half acre away from where they are staying.

Yesterday she walked the one dog through our driveway in between the parked cars and up to our side door. What the heck??? We have cameras everywhere at this point because of this type of nonsense. So I got really annoyed and I called the property management company. Some lady in the Philippines whose first language was definitely not English answers the phone with roosters crowing in the background. Mind you this is a fairly large company in our area. This is so unprofessional and ridiculous! I’m really hoping that you folks who have air bnbs are dong a better job!! This company overall is totally non-responsive to issues..

So then I contacted the owner and sent her photos from our cameras and I have spoken to the Sheriffs dept. The tenant is now on notice. If they show up in our yard again while we are here, they will come out and do a trespass warrant. We bought our home looking toward retirement many years ago and now it’s just a headache.

We have another self managed air bnb on the other side of us and we have worked out the issues we were having and it’s been pretty quiet for the last year and a half or so, so it can be done. But definitely NOT with a property management company.

Kathy Kennebrook Discusses the Disadvantages of AIR BNB in Residential Neighborhoods

So I am ranting again….I hate air bnbs. Many of you know this about me already. I think they should be abolished since it’s a commercial enterprise in a residential area. There are 9 air bnbs on the street I live on and we have one on each side of us. All of this has occurred within the last two years. We are talking about really high dollar houses.

Two weeks ago when fortunately we were out of town, there was huge party at the one that usually doesn’t give us trouble. The owner actually contacted me to find out what was going on. I guess other neighbors called the cops. I sent her photos off of our cameras. Then this week they had a group in the house with constant noise, fireworks, screaming in the pool at all hours and generally a nuisance. Plus hubby had surgery last week and we really didn’t need the hassle so I contacted the owner. She got on it immediately, however her people were banging on our door this morning. I used the intercom I did not answer the door.

The other problem with all this is that there are constant strangers in the neighborhood. The airbnb on the other side of us is a constant headache. So new people come in tomorrow for the holiday weekend and out on Tuesday in the headache house. How much you want to bet there is going to be a huge party?? This is typically their MO. Cops were there twice on Memorial Day Weekend. The owner of that one uses a property management company who couldn’t care less who is in the house.

I have the cops on speed dial. We are not tolerating it. Rant Over!
