When Mark and Star King placed their home in Calgary on Airbnb looking for short-term renters, never in their wildest dreams could they have imagined what transpired this past weekend.
We've seen tons of stories that shed wonderful light on Airbnb rentals. Most of the time, renters respect the spaces, creating positive experiences for both the owner and the guests.
But Mark and Star, a couple who says they have rented their home in the past with great success and without any issues whatsoever, were shocked to come home and find their home completely destroyed. Their belongings were thrown everywhere. The entire place is in complete upheaval and everything inside is now broken, shattered, dirty, and destroyed by the renter and whoever he brought over. I mean, what on earth happened in there?!
After phone calls and texts from neighbors, the King’s returned home with the police. The footage you're about to see is "only scratching the surface of what they found." This is truly devastating.
Who could do such a thing? When I saw the baby's crib, my heart broke for this family.
Mark and Star are grateful that Airbnb has a host guarantee to recover costs from damages. Apparently, the police have identified the man who rented the home, and are still investigating. He'll probably be charged. As for the King's, they hope for full compensation. They certainly deserve it!
After seeing this, I would never, ever let strangers rent my home. Check out the damage below, and please SHARE this crazy video with your friends on Facebook!
