Maybe they should go to Poland too!

I can just imagine the reviews at this place
I would be feeling a lot worse after hearing all of that. Did you ask proper questions before they rented the space, if so I cannot imagine how this booking proceeded? [quote=âScullard89, post:32, topic:10182â]
The Airbnb fellow also said that they would âstep in if she and her boyfriend do decide to squat.â - not sure what that means.

Given you donât know what this means, and didnât ask it seems, you are seeming, IMHO, more and more in over your head and need competent legal advice now, not rely on what one person at a call centre for ABB said. They certainly donât have any authority to bypass the laws of hundreds of years and I guarantee will be focused primarily on themselves and the guests, not providing legal help to you.

LOL! Skid Row and LA probably go to the bottom. (Sorry LA!). India is also not a favourite, for the same reasons as LA. I couldnât handle the poverty I saw on the streets.
All time favourite is probably still New Zealand. Simply breathtaking⌠I remember eating a burger by the river in Queenstown and wondering if life could be any better.
Wow Kona I had no idea that youâd also taken such a big life jump! Not to be sexist but when women strike out on their own I find it hugely inspiringâŚ
Air said theyâd support in the event of overstaying. So my question to air would be : how will
you do so ? What procedure will you (Airbnb) be following in the event I call you and report the guest has overstayedâŚ
Oregon Tenant Rights. âYou may have a lease for a specific time â often six months or one year. This time period is called the term of a lease. The valid parts of your lease will determine when it can be terminated or renewed. During the term of your lease, neither you nor your landlord can terminate the lease without cause, unless your lease states otherwise. Your landlord may end the tenancy during the term for non-payment of rent, serious violations of the lease, or for intentional dangerous behavior as described before.â
So our term lease is for 41days. - after 41days lease is up.
âIn that situation, the tenant would be expected to move at the end of the term without notice.â
No youâre conflating two things - Airbnb and tenancy rights in Oregon. What you need to determine is at what point someone has tenancy rights in Oregon âŚ, it could be 14 days it could be 30.
In the UK it needs to be a minimum of 6 months - so even if I had a guest stay 3 months they wouldnât have a tenancy, they would be covered under Airbnbâs contractual terms which state specially they are not tenants.
Iâm trying to explain they donât automatically get a tenancy just because they booked via Airbnb. There will be a specific amount of time that they must be in your property before the law views them as a tenant.
I just realized thatâs what youâre asking. Iâm looking it up on the Law website right now. 
One of my oldest friends and her husband emigrated to Dunedin 8 years ago. She urged me to look into it before I turned 55. At the time I had no interest as I was sure the demand for US government teachers there would be low. LOL. Now itâs too late and given the current climate here my interest is piqued.
I stayed in Kracow for 6 nights in 2009. I canât recall how much my apartment just outside the central tourist zone was but I could have easily lived there many months.
It wouldnât hurt to make the call. As I said (I worked for big law firms while I was in college) make the call and ask to speak to an attorney. They wonât usually charge you just to assess whether you have a case or not. I can tell you if someone like this had called our law firm, nearly every one there except maybe the partners, would have taken the time to talk to them.
Just so you are ready with like the 3-day notice or whatever the process is in Oregon

Once money is exchanged for rent tenant rights begin.
No⌠The Air agreement wonât protect you. They are talking about long term tenants there.
So essentially⌠itâs already happened. Your guests, just by virtue of staying 30 days, have acquired tenantsâ rights. Except you donât have an agreement with them. The fact that they stayed longer than 30 days gives them legal status as tenants and therefore they are entitled to due process. They donât realize it I bet though, so donât tell them!
I just did a quick internet search for tenancy rights in Oregon. In order for tenancy rights to begin immediately a contract would have to have been signed between you and your tenant in order to establish a âlandlord-tenant relationshipâ. Did you do that ? I assume that you live in the property too? Again this relationship can only exist when a tenant rents the whole property. I thought you also lived in the property? If you do then your guests are only ever going to be lodgersâŚ
The legal differences between tenants and Airbnb guests is an important one to understand⌠it does seem to me like you at the very least need to be clear on the differences between tenants, guests and lodgers.

LONG term tenants rights do. Please! read through our thread and the squatters thread. And call a lawyer, like I said. Best case scenario, they move out. Worse, they play it. But they have to know what they are doing⌠file the right papersâŚ
No just all through Airbnb - you must be a better googler than me I was having a hard time searching. There is a free resource in the area about tenant rights Iâll call them on Monday. - They have only been here about 12 days so far.
You donât have to google⌠Itâs all on the thread I posted earlier! Lots of resources. This lady was in the SAME circumstance as you⌠a woman and child in her house. Exact same.
If you call a lawyer, they will tell you the Air agreement means nothing now!
Letâs hope they leave on their own!

No!! Letâs not give her legal advice! They become TENANTS⌠They are not lodgers!
Read through our threadâŚ
Scullard, I should add you to our private thread, which continues where that one left off. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!
Look for the notification in greenâŚ
I donât think your situation will be like hers because that squatter was a pro and knew what papers to file, how to extend it. Even with a lawyer⌠it took a while to get that horrible woman out.
