> Eviction procedures in California can be lengthy and complicated, often taking three to six months to evict a tenant.

> On day one, after the guest checked in, he called her and complained about two odd things, Tschogl says. He didn't like the tap water (complained it was cloudy) and he didn't like the gated entry to the condo complex. He asked for a full refund, according to Tschogl. She had a bad gut feeling about him, she says, so she agreed to a refund.

This guy is really ...

EDITED:controversial expression.

I'm pretty interested in the output of this lawsuit. But i think that Air Bnb, as it's kinda their business, would have spot such a big loophole in the law if staying 30d in a rental indeed gave people rights over the house-owner, no? I guess the guy is just trying to stay for free until the case is closed and cops are putting him out.

Whatever happened to physically grabbing someone and violently throwing them out of your house?

See the previous coverage for the long version, but the tl;dr is that renters that rent for more than 30 days are protected as tenants by California law, including (normally proper) long drawn-out eviction proceedings.
