If you're a renter this is squatter bait. You better know the squatter rules before ever considering doing rentals off the books like that.

- dominotw 4y agolegal system makes it next to impossible to kickout a squatter. Someone can live rent free for years.
- wmeredith 4y agoDoing rentals to tenants without a paper trail would allow them to claim squatter's rights, which are a nightmare for landlords.
- gowld 4y agoHow does a paper trail prevent that? A paper trails gives the squatter far more rights, since they have proof of their right to live there.
- albedoa 4y agoThe paper trail provides proof of the start of the occupancy. It provides proof that the occupier does not live there.
- Aperocky 4y agoOP was doing it outside of US so I'd imagine such cases would have been settled very differently.
- notch656a 4y agoPrecisely, try that shit in Brazil or something. The government isn't going to give two fucks about your "squatters rights" and you can bet if you tried that on the wrong landlord that landlord is going to send out the pipe-hitters. Not advised.

- noduerme 4y agoTo clarify, the landlords always gave me a receipt for payment, and in most cases had me sign a rental agreement. There are some countries that come to mind where squatters' rights are particularly strong (Spain, for instance). In general, most of these places were already vacation rentals before Airbnb came along, and the landlords were well prepared to rent them independently of the platform.
