As if we didn't have enough BS to deal with right now... With the mandatory closure of strip clubs in Florida and elsewhere, strip club owners and regulars have resorted to renting Airbnbs to continue their operations. It happened last night at one of the properties we manage. Needless to say, today will be spent disinfecting and making a list of every single item in the house that was damaged to file a claim with Airbnb. Be sure to screen any last-minute bookings that come in over the next couple of weeks!

I see you have security cameras. These are priceless to protect your property!

Let's just say for the sake of keeping this forum PG-13, I chose a few from early on in the evening...

Cameras are against the rules other than on the FRONT of your property. The back of the property including the yard/pool/roof deck is considered living space and this is not allowed.
also.... I don’t see any rules being broken here? What’s the issue? People aren’t allowed to drink in bikinis at your property? Sounds like a boring vacation.
I’ve said it 1000 times. If you get in the habit of watching your cameras.... you will never succeed. It’s best to not know.

@Lucas Carl You are allowed to as long as it is disclosed (https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/887/what-are-airbnbs-rules-about-security-cameras-and-other-recording-devices-in-listings). The verbiage only prohibits cameras in the interior of private spaces such as bedrooms/bathrooms.
Believe me, this was not a group of vacationers and I have heard of it happening in other south Florida Airbnb's as well. I just wanted to share so that others are aware.

VRBO regarding my last statement. I’m not about to take cameras off the house every time a VRBO checks in.
