A woman has spent £4,500 living in Airbnbs after struggling to find a landlord that would take in her and her dog. Kirsty Hunt, 36, has a bulldog named Harper who she adopted as a rescue dog, but has been unable to find a rental home for them to live in.
After facing redundancy in August 2020 and with her lease expiring on her rented flat, Kirsty, who is single, was in desperate need for a new home for her and her four-year-old dog. But as she insisted Harper was her lifeline and refused for them to be parted, her only option was to live in Airbnbs.
Over two months Kirsty moved 15 times to different Airbnbs and the costs continued to rack up. After still being refused by landlords, the devoted dog lover has since been forced to abandon her hunt and move back in with her mum.
