This is the most peculiar experience I had with Airbnb and the most ridicules landlord I’ve ever met. She posted no smoking rules on her page so of course I’m not smoking anywhere in the house. Upon my day of arrival, I asked her do I have her permission of smoking at a particular area outside the house and she said yes. So I acted upon her consent. Later she text me saying I don’t want you to do so anymore. I replied no problem. Funny thing then comes, it turns out in the mean while when she texted me saying oh I like you let’s figure this out she reported me to the Airbnb of violations. I responded to Airbnb that I only did things with her consent first and now she retrieved her consent and I have no problem with it. I thought that will be the end of the fuzz but wait until the next morning. The landlord insisted on talking to me whereas I don’t know what to talk as the problem seems to me solved. She started saying you can’t ask for my permission upon arrival you should ask in advance before booking. But the thing is, upon my arrival she asked my consent not to take shower after 10pm which she did not put on her page when I booked it and although that’s so inconvenient to me, I tried to be considerable and still said yes and I act upon my promise. If her logic is consent doesn’t count upon arrival, does it means I needed not to do my part? She knew she has no grounding then she claimed, upon your day of arrival it was raining, and I feel bad not to say yes to your requirements. Seriously? Consent is consent, promise is promise. She can easily say no rather than behaved as she did. After the conflict Airbnb did their job and confirmed that I did not violated anything. Here comes the most hilarious part, she wanted me to leave at the same time I don’t feel safe nor comfortable living under the same roof with a person with such personality and wanted also to leave myself. But the way she’s putting it is that ejection is the most civilized thing she could do, well, yes, surely I can tell that 😆 and when I waited in the street calling a ride, she came to me threatened me her people will teach me a lesson, and she had showed me mercy😱. I simultaneously let Airbnb knew what she said for my own safety.
I displayed all my experience above and the Airbnb have already did their due diligence and confirmed I did not violated any rules. I won’t comment back anything she had to say below this because after the facts had been confirmed, everything she said not true will be a defamation. And with her threatening, my safety may not live longer than our conversation goes. That I do not want. Good luck guys!
P.S., when the report of no violation came, I was talking to a girl about all these suffering and how I handled it. She said if she met someone so outrageous the only thing she knew is turn to fist or being bullied quietly. She was so inspired by my processes and she literally put down notes on how to deal with these bulling in the right way 🤣My point is violence or threatening is never a solution. If you know your rights has been mistreated then you should keep calm and use the facts, rules, common sense, logic and justice to protect yourself. The girl I was taking to then stared at me seriously and said, if one day I feel small of myself or get a cold feet on fighting for justice, I should remember today how my suffering and handling inspire and give strength to other people like her and be strong to carry on again. I think if this unfortunate experience with Airbnb can not only help the future guests know what the landlord is alike but also let people know beside violence and cowardice there is a right way to protect yourself, all my suffering worth a value.
