In recent years, platforms like Airbnb have become very popular as an alternative to hotels, hostels or rural houses. As a general rule, this is because they offer a lower price, but even so, these rentals of individual homes are more than profitable for the owners of these accommodations.
Or so it happens in the vast majority of cases, but as Ashley, an American owner of an Airbnb accommodation, has pointed out from her TikTok account, In this case, the visit of some guests has cost him a fortuneand the worst of all is that they didn’t break anything.
In fact, at the beginning of the video the woman explains that at first everything went smoothly and that the experience was satisfactory for both parties, where They even gave five stars and when the owner arrived at the house once these tenants left, she found that Everything was in its place and worked perfectly.
The problem was when the end of the month arrived, and the energy company passed him the electricity bill, and although it is true that the price of electricity is highthe owner couldn’t believe that the bill she received reached $1,500. which in exchange is approximately 1,400 euros. The first thing he did was call the electricity company, but thats assured him that the charge was correct.
The next thing was to check the security cameras that were outside the accommodation, and that is where he saw how the tenants who had been there for the last three weeks, on the day they were leaving, They carried a charging station that they had installed in the garden to recharge their electric car, as well as 10 computers.
The woman, desperate to try to find out how the electricity bill had risen so much, since her house only had basic appliances, tried in every way to contact the tenants, and after several attempts she succeeded.
They recognized that They had used the time they were staying to mine cryptocurrencies, which, as is well known,requires very high electrical consumption so that computers are mining non-stop. The most curious thing of all is that The tenants were open to paying the electricity bill, claiming that at that time they had earned $100,000, something that for reasons of computer power and time, It seems impossible, but the owner still claims that they paid her.
To make sure this didn’t happen again, he decided to impose two new rules on his Airbnb home, the first, mining cryptocurrencies in the accommodation was prohibited, as was the installation of charging stations for electric vehicles.
