Help Needed Asap, Please!

[Annette Holbrook]

I don't know who else to ask, but I've been reading posts on here for awhile as I'm getting my own place ready to STR. Everyone here seems knowledgeable and kind and hopefully can give advice.

So my son and his family just checked into a beach house in Jupiter FL. This place was presented as a luxury accommodation. The list of horrors is too much. First, it looks like the guy who owns the place lives there FT(which is not how it was presented) and that he literally rolled out of bed and left this morning. The bed isn’t even made, the fridge and freezer are absolutely full of food. There were cups and bowls drying on the counter next to the sink. There were socks and shoes scattered on the floor, the laundry hampers are full of dirty clothes. There are holes in the walls with wires actually hanging out. There are cameras all over the place, inside, not just outside. It is just generally filthy. They are obviously not able to stay there with 2 children under 3, it is just unsafe. So my question is what do they need to do to make sure they aren’t blamed for any of this and also see about getting a refund. It was not rented thru Airbnb or vrbo type thing, it was a private type rental.

Interior cameras are illegal. I would report this immediately.
