  - a six-month stay at usurious rates isn't "airbnb," it's being a ripoff landlord under the table. fuck that guy -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 4, 09:38 3
    - but is 3 grand/month really usurious for a 1 bedroom house in LA? -- nm - decline Oct 4, 10:27
    - I assume the rate was listed before she moved in? - Reagen Oct 4, 10:23 1
      - but 120 days is the cutoff point for not being subject to LA’s short-term rental laws. If you wanna landlord, holdover tenants are a risk you run - hollywood big shot Oct 4, 10:28
- I assume it is a property owned specifically for Air BnB, so no real "owner" to hang around? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Oct 4, 08:56 6
  - Nope, it's a guesthouse on his property. They're both living there and the tenant is trashing it while living rent free for a year and a half. -- nm - spamlet Oct 4, 09:21 5
