Emily J, San Francisco
Emily J’s story is actually the one that started all the Airbnb woes. In 2011, Emily had chosen to rent out her apartment to one DJ Patterson when she went on a 3-week business trip. But when she got back home, she couldn’t believe the kind of damage that would be done to her lovely apartment. Not only had her apartment been trashed, she had lost jewelry and other valuables, her Social Security card was gone, as well as her birth certificate. Plus, there was an unbelievably putrid smell coming from her bathroom, and an astonishing amount of dirty dishes left in the sink.
