When a long-term tenant rented out the Las Vegas house he was leasing on Airbnb, the homeowner was socked with over $180,000 in fines for dodging city laws on short-term rentals. The tenant then threatened to “send someone” after the landlord if he didn’t agree to release him from any responsibility for damage to the property, according to a federal lawsuit obtained by The Independent.
The suit argues that the alleged actions “can only be described as extreme and outrageous with an intention to cause harm and emotional distress” to the homeowner.
