Airbnb Hosts Beware (Scam!)

If you're an Airbnb host or plan to be, be aware of this scam going around. After staying at your place for a few days, people may claim an issue with bedbugs and ask for a full refund. If they happen to reach out to Airbnb, your listing is removed immediately and you're required to show proof of an inspection and treatment before your listing is allowed back up. People using this scam are guilty of a misdemeanor, but it's hard to prove anything. So, be sure to bedbug proof your listing and be aware that New York has the worst bedbug issue in the states.
