Airbnb horror story: Single mom battles squatters after guests overstay
A single mother in North Carolina, Farzana Rahman, is facing significant financial stress after Airbnb guests at her rental property turned into squatters, causing her to lose essential income. Rahman had rented out the home in the Durham area to guests who were supposed to leave by May 24, but they remain on the property, causing a major disruption to her plans to finance her son’s college education. The trouble began when Rahman sent a housekeeper to prepare the unit for its next potential occupants. Instead of finding an empty dwelling, the housekeeper encountered the guests still occupying the space.
