Squatter doesn't sit well with Airbnb host

Because he has been there more than 30 days and has already made complaints about the adequacy of the accommodations. I feel sorry for the property owner but she got into the landlord business without doing basic research.

The guest texted back saying he was legally occupying the condo and that loss of electricity would threaten the work he does at home that brings in $1,000 to $7,000 a day.

Oh, this must be the guy all those people are talking about in blog comments :)

Is the complaint about inadequate accommodations enough to withhold rent?

I think what I'm really getting at is, if he is _still_ a tenant without paying rent. When does a tenant become a squatter?

I'm clear on that certain rights kick in at 30d, I am just a little hazy that a right is to stay without paying for it.

I don't know. The complaint looks like a procedural maneuver to me, designed to slow down the eviction process.
