Final Update of a Kickstarter that I backed contains this bit:
4. What happened with all the AirBNB drama?
On May 19, 2014 my brother and I booked a condo through AirBNB for 30 nights (May 25 - Jun 25, 2014), which was paid in full (AirBNB Itinerary Confirmation Code: 2TRTHE; Billing receipt #2038880805). Accomodations total was $1867, and to clarify again the landlord was paid in full for that.
Nearing the end of our stay, we decided to extend it - and booked another 2 weeks (Jun 25 - Jul 8, 2014).
This time the $813 rent payment was missed (the credit card was declined). We played stupid and pretended the payment went through to get some time to find a new place and leave.
Little did we know, that just a few days later, we had a full crew of TV reporters outside of our front door.
They have played the story on national TV and we even made it on prime time "60 minutes" TV show. It was aptly named, Neighbors from Hell.
At this point, we had no chance of overstaying, as our landlord lady have pulled a checkmate on us.
Broke and humiliated, we have packed our things and snuck away at night.
I must say that I was not aware that this did happen.
And no, they did not finish the game (no hard feelings, this happens).
