Description

This home is being advertised on multiple sites for short term furnished housing (furnished finder etc.). During my stay, there were at least 3-4 other renters and on occasion up to 8. This is a 5 bedroom home. One bedroom is taken permanently by the owners, however when they are out of town they will rent their room out. there are two other bedrooms on the top floor, which are rented to short term renters. On the main floor there is a 'massage room' and a home office. During my stay both the massage room, the office and the living room couch were rented to people needing short term
accommodations. In the basement, there are two bedrooms. Both are rented to short term renters. The main foyer of the home is in construction since summer 2020. there is no flooring, only wood and paper. This is unsafe and uncleanly. In my time there, the home was not cleaned even once. the upstairs bathroom was so dirty and covered in hair i refused to use it, opting to use the first floor bathroom, which i cleaned myself as up to 5 people were using it. the main concern is the general cleanliness of the home - there is no cleaning of the bathrooms being done or anywhere else. There is also video surveillance going on - the front door and other places. This is for 'security' as the couple has so many people coming and going. Sadly, I feel there are cameras elsewhere that are not disclosed to tenants.

Q. Please describe the issue
A. The main issue is that this couple is renting all the rooms in their home (up to 8) without complying with any cleaning schedule. The home is in disrepair and is dirty.
