Need legal advice - possibly having a squatter at my airbnb

Accountant · Los Angeles · Member since 2021 · 8 posts · 1 vote

Short version: I Airbnb my townhouse at LV to a family of 3 for 40 days and at this point they refuse to leave. Their last day was last week 9/19, they informed me they couldn't make payment to extend. I agreed to let them stay till tomorrow the 25th but now they informed me they are not leaving because they haven't find another living arrangement. I have contacted Airbnb to help resolve this issue.

I have done my research and noted that they may have establish tenancy rights in NV. I need advice and possibly an attorney referral to evict them.

Thx in advance.

@Eric Wu sorry you're going thru this, but please contact an eviction attorney and don't relay on social media for legal advice. Best of luck.

For short-term rentals, less than 30 days, you can typically call the police and have them removed. Since you allowed them to stay longer than 30 days, they are considered long-term tenants and subject to the eviction process through the courts.
Try calling the police but don't mention how long they've lived there. Just say it's a vacation home, they were supposed to be out on 9/19 and refuse to leave or pay. See if the cops will help.

I'd like to parrot Shawn's advice. Consider this an urgent situation that can get very bad, very fast. Do not seek further free advice. Call an attorney and get started, today.

And don't refer to them as "tenants". Call them "guests". Language matters. Good luck.
