My scariest guest

Well unfortunately you have left it quite a while now after the incident, so this will make the story less interesting to the media.

You don’t need to go on TV you can talk to radio stations or newspapers. But do think about the implications for you. People can be nasty on social media and in responding to news stories, so you need to be quite strong to handle it.

I am sure you have a complaints procedure with your police so hopefully you have already started in the process of making a formal complaint.

Are Airbnb still blocking your listing? Did you try them via social media.

It needs to be your call as to whether you go to the media, but the longer you leave it the less interested they will be.

I don’t have the stomach, where with all or energy to keeping on fighting
this.
Maybe at sometime my account will be unblocked, otherwise I will continue
to lose thousands of dollars and be persecuted for what… who knows!!!
In any case… did nothing wrong… grotesquely mistreated… not amused…
I give up!

There is no time limit on warning the public of dangers they may experience and the treatment they may be met with … especially with monsters like xxx in the world. I’ve already contacted Pat Foran at CTV news “Consumer Alert”

The treatment I have received is unimaginably unconscionable and inhuman. Airbnb avoided me for 2 weeks… after the incident… talk about leaving things too long! Imagine watching from a distance a friend walking down the street being accosted… assaulted… robbed… knocked to the ground and trying to reach out for help. You then notice another party (they know who they are) running over to your friend writhing in pain on the ground expecting help but being met with kicks to the face… being spit on… further stolen from the those who were supposed to be there for help… running off leaving your friend now… words escape me.

I have never been treated with such disrespect in my life and this story is FAR FROM OVER!

Thank you xxx,

I appreciate your understanding, speaking to someone has helped. Not your regular same old every day chain of events.
Ok here it is the general gist of the event summarizing damages and theft. Between chasing around Police Stations, my building management Office (locks/keys), changing of locks, documenting EVERYTHING I have as below a snapshot. In my next E-mail I will provide all the evidence to same

Airbnb guest became belligerent, physical and his threatening behaviour prompted calls to 911 and Building Security, as well as 7 neighbours summoned to my Suite for help as I was being terrorized by Axxxxx (if that’s even his real name). Guest refused to leave or surrender keys after 24 hours verbal, E-mail and note pasted to the door of his room notices. When confronted upon entering my apartment illegally and asked to surrender keys and leave I was told “Fuck off fag I’m not going anywhere”. After further pleadings and reminders of all the kindnesses bestowed during stay, including home-cooked gourmet meals every day, I was met with “Shut your mouth… find me another room” I am sure everyone gets the news, knows what is going on in this world all around us everywhere! We live in a very dangerous world with all kinds of very dangerous people (terrorists/serial killers/anyone off their meds on a little holiday to Toronto…) in it. I was feeling the stress of this and in a severe panic for my life, or at the outset more serious injuries or physical assault, than just being shoved (in my own home) twice. Disturbing language being used against me and those at my side. I am quite sure he Likely a Sociopath, has certainly proven himself to be a habitual liar.

Theft / Vandalism / Assault / Fraud

This person’s true identity progressively revealed itself to be something quite unpleasant and as it turns out misrepresented himself about having a work visa or a job! Laughed at me (e-mail) when confronted with lie. Seems every word out of his mouth is a lie. He terrorized me for 5 hours refusing to leave my home or surrender my keys when he had no legal rights to be in my home. I also have reason to believe he is working as a male escort prostitute and/or involved with a criminal element based on the strange hours he kept…

First night staggered out of apt leaving a trail of pills and cigarette papers - LIED about this

Clogged and overflowed my toilet twice by trying to flush wads of paper towels down - LIED about this

On second day here brought someone to my private apartment - LIED about this - on security video

As I lay in my room on sofa-bed pretending to be asleep, one eye opened watching him rifle through my personal property on my personal desk in my personal space. Suspicions are taking root in actions and getting worse by the hour as I pay closer attention it would appear!

Seen in and around my building on several occasions with shady characters - security video can be pulled

While here he rudely invaded my private space duration of stay barging in and out of my personal area at any time with no regard for my privacy! Just within a short 24-48 hours a full Dr. Jeckyll Mr. Hyde.

The whole incident morphed into a VERY BAD experience, and according to the Police I got off easy as this is happening all the time, with much worse outcome

My back-up proof and evidence will follow:

Photos/E-mails/Video/7 Witness/2 Security Guards (2 different companies) whatever is required

Respectfully,

xxx

Mike I’ve removed all your personal information and names and case numbers from your post. We don’t allow people to go “real life” on the forum. And even if we did it’s a bad idea to put all that information on the forum. It’s a public forum. 100s of people lurk here daily and it turns up in google searches.

Mike, I’m SO SO sorry to hear about this HORRIBLE guest. UNBELIEVABLE! I’m also in Toronto and have never had an issue (touch wood) with Airbnb Super Host Customer Service. What I would suggest you do, is contact the Toronto Airbnb office (located in the MaRs building) and make an appointment to speak with someone there. I would really suggest that so that they can be made aware of this situation (f they’re not already, as the Toronto Airbnb Host phone number gets routed to the U.S. or Europe, depending on the time of day.

Please let us know what they say.

I also removed on name that you forgot.

Mike, I don’t understand the part about unpaid rent. Do you mean he overstayed? Please don’t tell me you went off platform with this guest. Then you will have no recourse at all.

This had neither been suggested by anyone nor was I aware, Definitely
lloming in this one,
Just to be sure, where is the MaRs building?

Their behavior toward me as a Elie Host working to Super Host status with
only 1 or 2 more guest statys to achieve this,

I am deeply offended and equally disappointed and disgusted with Airbnb’s
lack of humanity

M**M

Yikes…

Thank you for that… You are so right… my mistake… I will be much more
careful with what I share, there is a lot… still reeling months later
from this indignity, not always in my normal frame of mind. This experience
and how I have been treated makes me delve places I would much rather not
but sheer inhumanity and insult is mind-bending!

I just wanted to learn from experience and move on, not have a knife stuck
in my back and twisted daily… it’s mean and insufferable to the nth

With monsters like Bruce McCarthur running around… I was terrified of
what the outcome of this traumatic experience might be?

Neither the dignity or humanity to respond… seriously!

That contact/number info was inadvertently copied over from one of many
E-mails trying to communicate with Airbnb

After being chased from my apartment running in panic and fear of my
life… smashing my phone in the process…

Stephen King couldn’t write this stuff!

M**M

The MaRs building is at College and University but you need to make an appointment first, as the staff have a lot of area to cover and the person who could possibly help you out may be out of the office.

I’ve been a Super Host for a few years now, that status doesn’t necessarily mean we get treated like royalty, fyi.

Good Luck!

Blimey! Shoved twice, and you’re referencing Bruce Macarthur the serial killer!

Is there a phone number or means to contact this office at the MaRs
building? I can’t seem to find anything? Sorry to be a pest but totally
disgusted with Airbnb treatment of me. How would you feel, having done
NOTHING wrong and being treated as such physically assaulted, vandalized,
robbed, lied to… ad nauseam!

Human being DO NOT treating fellow human beings such as the treatment I’ve
received! I’m losing thousands of dollars and don’t know why as Airbnb has
neither the humanity or decency to respond.

Sincerely… signed confused and bewildered!
Mike

M**M

Sorry, I do not.

Maybe calling the general Airbnb Customer Service line and asking them?

Good luck!

Hi @MikeinTO

Did you manage to get in touch with any media yet in your area about this?

If so, what was there response?

Perhaps some counselling would help too as you are still so understandably traumatised.

Media is a last resort… More perplexed, confused and disappointed than
traumatized at this juncture!

Do you have any update?
