Guest Stays 30 Days Then Vanishes | Raleigh News

A Hermosa Beach homeowner’s nightmare unfolds when a guest overstays his Airbnb booking by nearly a month, refuses to pay, and claims his credit card was stolen. With California law granting tenants rights after 30 days, eviction becomes a costly, months-long legal battle. Facing financial ruin and a ruined property, Weissman’s pleas for help go unanswered — Airbnb directs her to cops, who can’t intervene in civil matters. A neighbor’s discovery of water damage and a busted closet finally prompts the guest to flee in a U-Haul, leaving chaos behind. Weissman now calls for legal reform to shield short-term rental hosts, while Airbnb insists such cases are rare — but homeowners like her say they need better protection.
