Scottsdale homeowner struggles to remove Airbnb listing posted by evicted renter

I guess it's not a 5 star rating

SCOTTSDALE (3TV/CBS 5) - Before they were evicted, the tenants at a three-bedroom home in Scottsdale trashed the place. “They damaged the carpet. They broke the sink. They damaged the oven,” said property manager Tom Rizen. But that’s not the worst part. The former tenants also listed one of the rooms on Airbnb without permission.

The Airbnb listing promises a guest suite with access to a pool and spa and a private patio to grill and ‘dine under the stars.’ “In Scottsdale, Arizona, what more could you ask for?” Rizen said.

Here’s the problem: the tenant didn’t have permission to sublease or rent out any part of the home. “The city of Scottsdale informed us that this posting on Airbnb was up and that it was a violation of the ordinances with the city of Scottsdale, and if not removed, they were going to start fining the owner for it,” Rizen said.

Rizen reached out to the former tenant, who never responded to requests to remove this listing, and 

he says Airbnb refused to help, too.
