Couple charged after knives, drugs and blood apparently left in Airbnb
If you’re renting out your place on Airbnb it’s fair to expect a little mess from holiday-makers. But one host found a mess that had him reeling.
This goes beyond just making a mess.
A Kansas man renting out a room in his house on Airbnb recently has claimed he made a shocking discovery. He said he found drugs, knives and bloodstains on the wall after a couple allegedly rented the room, Fox News reported.
“I’ve had people come hungover after a party and needed a hotel,” Airbnb host Chris Sayegh told Fox 4 KC. “New Year’s, that was crazy, but other than that, this is the first of the first.”
He says that the damage would cost him an estimated $4000 to repair.

He told the news outlet about his reaction to finding the mess.
“It was bad,” he said. “I mean, I had a manic episode, and I was basically cleaning really, really good, and I just cleaned everything, and I just did not stop.”
Despite this experience, Mr Sayegh says he’s not done with the rental site, although he’s hoping for some changes.
“I will continue Airbnb-ing if they will help me get the proper security systems to be comfortable, help me get a ring doorbell, the proper locks for every room and compensate me for my emotional pain,” he said.

In a statement obtained by Fox News, a spokesperson for Airbnb said: “The reported behaviour has no place on Airbnb. We’ve removed the booking guest from our community and are in communication with the host to initiate a claim through Airbnb’s $1 Million Host Guarantee.”
Fox 4 KC reports that police confiscated the drug paraphernalia, leading them to arrest 29-year-old Rebecca Singh and 23-year-old Joseph Crane. The pair face charges related to drug possession.
