Now that you asked about the pictures, after thinking about it, the owner said I had two hours to vacate from the time he notified the company that he wanted me out. DW and I were at a family party 10 miles away. I didn't read the message until 5 hours later. I responded that that this was...

Don't laugh, but I was charged LESS, then again, I only stayed one night, not two. I got a small refund a few days ago. I sent a message to customer service letting them know I received a refund with no explanation and could they please send me a final bill so I could see what I was charged for...

I couldn't stop thinking about your question so I reviewed my letter for my jury duty and it referred to us as a Petit Jury, so we did convict as I understand it.

Great story. You got to do those things when you're healthy. You never know when you won't be able to. I hiked the AT with a few section hikers who were completing the trail over 10 years doing 2-3 weeks each year. They were still working so they couldn't take 6 months to hike like I did. I...

Gumby is referring to my appalachian trail through hike. I vlogged it in 2019. Gumby must be one of the 5 or 10 people that watched it. [emoji1]

I don't put 100% of the fault on the owner (more like 95%). I think he's probably a paranoid control freak and I find lying about local laws very cocerning but I understand everyone has their issues. I know I have a quirky way of talking and dealing with people and I usually let my wife (she-...

Good catch Robert! Kabuki is my college nickname but the username was already taken when I came to the forum years ago. It has nothing to do with Japanese theatre, more to do with wrestling. l am anything but a dramatic person.

I was issued a refund of a small amount. I indicated that I did not know what this refund was for. I have an invoice of the prepaid amount but I don't have an invoice of the final amount. Was I charged for four people for one night, two people for two nights? I don't know. This may seem petty...

Paid in advance.

I'm not a lawyer and I wasn't the foreman.

Ok, rendered a verdict.

Bingo! We have a winner! [emoji3]

I am out maybe $100, probably less. DW and I ended up at my nephew's house 15 miles away on his floor with a blow up mattress. You're probably thinking, dude, let it go. My brain is with you on that. It's a cheap lesson in the game of life. Let the next guy deal with him. My heart on the...

I didn't make an issue out of it. I'm ok with the owner looking at MY crotch and butt. DW, not so much.

The host said he had six, 6 cameras and could see us coming and going even if the closeup crotch cam view was obstructed while people went up and down the stairs. We didn't have an issue with the other 5 cameras. We saw one pointed at our car and another at the parking lot. We always parked in...

Excellent advice pacergal. I'm willing to bet the owner has had bad renters before but in my case, I think he assumed I was trouble from the moment I arrived. Thanks for the input.

The faces in the camera...not my best moment, agreed. Wine will do that. Once I was threatened with a law suit, I hurried back to the rental unit (we were at a family party 15 miles away) and removed my belongings as quickly as possible and took pictures of the covered devices. We should have...

Because the owner texted that there were only external cameras. If I found internal cameras and confronted the owner with that finding, it could escalate in unexpected ways and might put me and DW at risk. We were leaving the next day and I was ok with just covering anything I thought were...

I appreciate your input but take issue with your assertion that I lied to the owner. While I was away from the rental unit, the host texted me and asked, that I not cover his security cameras. At the time of his text I had two suspected devices covered inside the unit. I assumed he was talking...

I appreciate the comments of those that side with the owner. it helps me understand what his concerns could be. I was charged for extra guests. The owner stated that he had six external cameras and could see me coming and going even if I stood I stood in front of his creeper cam. I didn't have...

I don't understand it either. I asked customer service to share with me the documentation the host provided as proof that I had more than two guests and that I had broken local laws. They would do it. EDIT - they wouldn't do it. I find it hard to explain my position without knowing what the...

Shortly after arriving the host texted asking how many were seeking accomodations that night. I answered that there would be two of us. It never occurred to me that letting my brother in-law and sister in-law use the bathroom and change clothes in the rental would cause the host to cancel my...

Thanks for the comment. Some good skepticism in my story makes for a more thorough discussion. I stated that I did not confirm inside cameras because I found what I thought could be cameras. I didn't dissect the devices to confirm. After reading about hidden internal cameras at rentals I...

I did not confirm there were any internal cameras. I got suspicious, searched the interior of the unit and ended up covering two items that I thought might be internal cameras. The reaction of the host makes me wonder if I was closing in on something he didn't want me to be find. DW was really...

I now agree. Big brands value their customers. My head says this is a learning experience and it didn't cost that much. My heart says this is so wrong to be treated like this. I appreciate everyone's advice. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with the suggestions from this community.
