What happens when an Airbnb guest cancels their reservation… but stays in the house anyway? In this video, I break down a real squatting/trespassing situation at one of my short-term rentals, how I caught it, what I did in the moment, and the lessons every Airbnb host should take away.
From Ring camera checks to calling the police, Airbnb support, documentation, and building better boots-on-the-ground systems, this is a real-world reminder that every host needs a plan before something goes wrong.
