After the experience, the property owner, Ashley, took to her TikTok channel to explain “the weirdest Airbnb rule I had to implement as a host.” She said the guests left home perfectly clean and a “five-star” review after their three-week stay. The problem came later when she received the electric bill for the property.

The guests’ electric bill amounted to $1,500 during their stay. Ashley checked the external security cameras for the property and watched the visitors haul out at least ten computers when they departed. They’d also set up a charging station for their electric vehicle.
