Dying in an airbnb

[artificialpasta]

Airbnb is much cheaper for me than a reliable hotel. So it's a good hedge against failure. But the owner is usually an individual so it might cause much more inconvenience to them compared to a hotel, who has multiple staff to deal with it?

What do you think

I also thought of that when i was on a airbnb house not to long ago, not of ctb there but what if i did that i think is fucked up tbh for the owner ppl will likely avoid it because "haunted" house and probably invent stuff like ctb in a satanic ritual or some shit like that

Well no one else would have to know that someone died there. I'm more worried about the financial and logistical strain it might put on them.

I think that's an incredibly harsh thing to do to someone, traumatising the owner and forever associating the property with death. A hotel is a lot more impersonal.

I have stated a few times here that I basically hate airbnb. They are used for nefarious purposes, cause problems for neighbors, and take up housing that actual families could use. I have no pity for airbnb owners. The concept started off as a great idea but it has turned into a massive problem and the company nor cities where they operate have done anything about it.

My big issue with Airbnb revolves around how much of a mess you want to leave for others.

A hotel may or may not try to charge a fee or get some kind of recompense from your estate for the costs incurred by your death on your property. But that's usually it. Often they have already worked the costs of occasional suicides into their business model, so they won't try to get anything.

An Airbnb owner, on the other hand, is probably going to be more aggressive. This is likely their only property, or one of a only a few properties they own, so the financial costs will be much higher. They'll have to shut down the property, pay for deep-cleaning, cancel on the next guests at least. Could be looking at costs in the thousands or tens of thousands.

Worst case with a hotel is it tries to get something from your estate.

Worst case with an Airbnb is that they don't get what they want from your estate and sue your surviving family.

If you don't care about what mess you leave behind, understandable, but if you do, something to keep in mind.
