Erika Gemzer, a pregnant Airbnb host, is demanding answers from the company after her home was flooded with sewage by reckless guests.
The flooding left her homeless, $300,000 in debt, and due to give birth in the coming days.
Gemzer says that Airbnb has done little to help her despite her repeated requests for assistance. She has been offered a fraction of the cost of the damage and has been asked to sign away her rights to future reimbursement claims.
Gemzer is now sharing her story in the hope that Airbnb will finally take responsibility for the damage caused by their guests. She is also hoping to raise awareness of the risks of hosting on Airbnb.
