Mansion owner files lawsuit over Airbnb rental that turned X-rated

Then in California this happened;

NOVEMBER 23--The owner of a California mansion alleges that she was duped into renting out the property via Airbnb to a firm that produces hardcore gay porno films and left the 1920s property awash in enema kits, various "sexual devices," and assorted bodily fluids, according to a lawsuit.

Kristina Knapic, owner of the Acacia Mansion in Ojai, a city 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles, charges that she agreed to lease the property for five days in mid-August to a woman who claimed that she and a “group of friends” would stay at the $1095-a-night home “for a quick summer vacation.”

In a November 19 Superior Court complaint, Knapic, 46, alleges that “Anna,” the purported renter, was actually Andrei Treivas, the gay porn actor/director/producer known professionally as Michael Lucas (seen above).

Knapic charges that she gave the keys to the property to Treivas, who posed as “Anna’s brother-in-law.” Knapic said she was told that “Anna” was still en route to the Ojai mansion.


I gather that someday soon Airbnb contracts will say this is a no-no.
