Summary

This video details a nightmare scenario for an Airbnb host in Durham whose long-term guests refused to leave after their booking ended. It highlights the legal reality that guests staying 30 days or more often gain tenant rights, requiring a formal and time-consuming eviction process. Hosts are advised to act immediately with local authorities and the court system when a guest becomes a 'holdover tenant.'
