It’s the air bnb host’s property. That host can have as many rules as he or she wants. If a person doesn’t want to follow the rules, then don’t rent that place.

[@mac1bc]

Agreed but don't change the rules later after someone agrees and is staying there.

[@Benefits]

No vaping is a perfectly fine rule to have. Excessive vaping can wreak havoc on HVAC systems and any electronics that have cooling systems that rely on a fan. That exhaled vapor has to go somewhere, it doesn't just disappear. It will get sucked into any and everything that has suction, such as air returns, ceiling fan blades, laptop computers, etc. That vapor eventually reconstitutes into a sticky gluelike substance that ruins anything it gets inside of.

Inside the house, of course. Outside is another story, and so is smoking for outside. This story doesn’t elaborate on that

HOST WAS 100% WRONG TO SEND A PHOTO TO A NONREGISTERED GUEST. Other than that, the booking guest was in the wrong. The female presenter understands nothing about Airbnb and didn't care enough to educate herself because she's already biased. Airbnb house rules are available before check-in. If guest didn't agree with rules, he could have cancelled. You don't make an agreement with someone, accept the goods/service and then say "oops, changed my mind, I got what I wanted but NOW I've decided I don't like your rules after all, so I'm not paying." How would this lady like it if someone was supposed to pay her for something who had all the facts and conditions in advance, and then once they got what they wanted, said "F*** your rules, I don't agree so I'm not paying"? And FYI: hosts stop allowing locals after some visited, scoped out the place and came back to rob it; and they do not trust guests after they've had people lie in reviews for revenge, break and/or steal things in the unit, stain linens with nail polish and hair dye, blow up microwaves by putting metal in them and so much more craziness that you couldn't even begin to imagine! ALSO internal cameras are illegal. If anyone commits a crime against you, report it, not cry foul against the platform that brought you together. Airbnb isn't the largest hosting platform in the world because the majority of hosts are criminals.

[@GuyNamedRy]

you do know the host said 12 people then the guest gave all the names and then the host changed their minds and said no you can only have 8 people now. Noise complaint lol how do we know they could of just SAID I got a text/call from my neighbor who knows if that happened.

I was, however, raised by a very angry racist (white) father who hated everyone but only had special names for those people who weren't white.

Try cleaning the walls in a room that’s been regularly ‘vaped’ in. The walls have an oily residue. My son vaped in his room with the door closed (because I didn’t like the smell of the flavour he liked). When he moved out I cleaned the room but the smell remained. While washing the walls I realized the residue wasn’t coming off. It took commercial restaurant grease cutter to wash the walls! Which meant I also had to wash the ceiling. By that time I gave up. Washed everything and repainted. So I completely understand ‘no vaping’. Vaping isn’t much different than smoking for leftover remaining odours.

Airlines don't allow people to vape in their planes. Uber & Lyft drivers don't allow people to vape in their vehicles. All with valid reasons. Regardless, the property belongs to the owner and he gets to make his own rules for it.

Basically it is taking part of the lung, mouth, nose and mucus biome and adhering it on anything the vapor touches. You know like secondhand cigarette smoke.

[@Mister_Portal_USMC]

None of that is true. And no, I don't "vape". But I am a chemist. Both propylene glycol and glycerin have relatively low boiling points compared to more traditional pollutants like tobacco tar. When heated in a vape device, they vaporize and, when exhaled, they return to their liquid form at a much quicker rate than the combustion byproducts of traditional cigarettes. Due to their chemical properties, PG and VG readily absorb moisture, which aids in their quick dissipation in the air. However, here might be a psychological component, such as confirmation bias, where individuals who have preconceived negative attitudes towards vaping might be more likely to notice or report a smell. They could also be associating any unfamiliar smell with vaping if they know it occurs in their environment. The persistence and noticeability of vapor smell can also depend on environmental factors such as room size, ventilation, humidity, and the amount of dust present. The must smell is not from the vapor, but from the dust in the air mixed with humidity, while as Some flavor compounds in vape juices might have musty or earthy components that could be perceived as musty. THat doesn't mean they linger or stick around. They dissipate almost immediately unlike cigarette smoke which clings to everything.

[@cyndinelson8700]

Why would anyone stay at an Air B&B. Hidden cost and cameras have been widely discussed on the news, Reddit, and in a number of lawsuits?

[@elsavelaz]

How’s it a hidden camera if he’s trying to hide from it

I love airbnb and I love the rules of no smoking and vaping. Honestly their rules are not that bad. They are renting "their property" to a complete stranger and they need to be able to know that There isn't going to be any parties, Random people there and the place is respected so that when they leave the place is ready for the next guest. They want people to make sure their there for Friendly gatherings and Family time. Not throw a huge party and possible wreck the house or bother neighbors. As for the no Locals. I believe that is because they don't want you to invite people you don't know to their property. If you don't know them, then you can't trust them not to rob, trash or steal from the owners property...only invite people you KNOW...it's respectful. Why this reporter lady thinks all this is strict rules is crazy. It's called boundaries and respect, go to a Motel if you want to invite large groups of people and random locals over.....

Still not much for taking responsibility for your own actions I see. Its the Airbnb fault I lost my wife not the fact that I was cheating.

AIRBnB DEMANDS THOSE RULES EXPOSED UPFRONT AND YOU RENT IT KNOWING THOSE RULES

[@chrisd2p2]

The home owner can set whatever rules they want, like no vaping. DOnt like it, go elsewhere and let the market dictate whether they are successful or not.

[@pachengchang]

Rules are set prior to the guest booking. If they agree then you cant blame the Host. Its not like the Host forced the guest. However regardless of the Host reason, she is in the wrong

[@cal8354]

I wouldn't rent to a vapor either. Vaping gives off particles that settle on everything and the smell can be persistent. Plus, they might be vaping something illegal. There is nothing wrong with being a stickler. All the renter has to do is choose a different rental.

[@wubbied4575]

Nope that’s not true. I vape in all the air bnb I use and never got caught once.

[@cal8354]

@@wubbied4575 Is true. Depends on what you are vaping. Just because you didn't get caught doesn't make it not true.

[@user-bz5io6ph8w]

Airbnb is the worst, just give me my boring hotel room

[@saintwolfcrypto]

Never use airbnb - just a get a hotel.

[@archielabb]

"The host is kinda annoying". If you can't follow the rules, why would you rent it? No smoking or Vaping. Sounds like a clear-cut rule. If you cannot follow the rules please find somewhere else? I side with the property owners because they provide YOU a service; otherwise, go to a hotel where you can complain to the front desk all day.

[@rockstargirl213]

The rules were over the top. I wouldn't be surprised if you were a boomer saying this. I guess I wouldn't want to rent from you either. Don't host.

[@ayorkii]

You can’t say to someone that they can have 12 guests and then come back during the event and reduce it and try to make you pay. I think this is AirBnB’s fault for letting property owners get away with being sheisty with shady terms that change moment by moment.

[@ledzeppelin820]

Watching these too, feels like I’m getting my teeth pulled

[@Daniel_J_Duke]

I would think Airbnb super hosts would run their business like a good hotel. It makes me wonder how the host became designated a "super host"?

[@88happiness]

AirBNB like Uber sounded good at first, but really hasn't lived up to expectations.

[@michaelm4597]

I would have to respectfully disagree. Uber may be greedy to both the customer and driver, but in the end, millions of drunk people will not be driving home drunk.

[@gourdguru]

@@michaelm4597 you mean the exact same service provided by a taxi for generations before Uber was even a thought? Not saying i disagree, just pointing out that if that's your main point of defense/approval, it's pretty weak.

[@michaelm4597]

@gourdguru 🤣 Ha! I grew up in the age of taxis and they did not help the situation. Did you ever call on a pay phone for an over-priced taxi at 2am, only to wait an hour or more, back in the day, drunk😅? I guess it also depends on where you grew up, but 90% of the time, transit was not available or out of reach. Did you know there is actual data showing these statistics all over the country since 2014? You might wanna do some research. You can't be that dense as to not see that.
