Cheaters will never win!

[Nathan Gesner]

Left beautiful Wyoming and headed to California to see some family for Christmas. Reserved an AirBnB about 60 days in advance. It had around six 5-star reviews. Host wasn't responding to calls when we got to town. It's in a newer development that had an office so I stopped and asked for help. She immediately apologized and said my host was evicted for operating a vacation rental when they are expressly forbidden. I managed to find a replacement (more expensive and not as nice) but my family had to spend a couple more hours in the car while I searched. I've seen a lot of posts over the years about sub-leasing without owner knowledge, renting in violation of zoning laws or HOA rules, etc. I'm here to tell you it won't work. You may make some mad money for a while but cheaters are eventually caught or their life falls apart because they've cheated in other areas of life.
