Yep, media usually hypes these delinquent tenant stories though they are probably rare. Lot's of "Freeman-on-the-land" stories of squatters refusing to pay rent for 1-3 mos and landlord's can't evict them. Every story they interview some shady property management corp who insists all renter laws must be weakened.
A story the media hasn't done yet is how often traveling sex workers use Airbnb for incall. 2-3 workers will travel to different cities together and then use the apartment to turn tricks. Perfect incall solution instead of using hotels which charge extra for guests or clamp down on visitors. I'm sure there's a small minority of tenants using Airbnb to import narcotics or fraud hardware like ATM skimmers too, can always claim the previous tenant ordered the box full of drugs and you had no knowledge.
