A COUPLE was threatened with a $200 fine at their Airbnb if they didn’t walk across town to empty their trash.
The Airbnb‘s trash policy was revealed online, and people have mixed feelings about it.
On the social media platform Reddit, a user started a thread to share the policy of an Airbnb they stayed at with their other half.
It showed a picture of the policy, which forced guests to take out their trash or be hit with a fine.
The sign read: “To avoid additional charges, please ensure your garbage is properly disposed of.
“We will be forced to charge you for not taking out the garbage.”
The caption of the thread confirmed this: “Our Airbnb, which included a $200 cleaning fee, will charge us if we don’t walk across town to empty our trash.”
In the comments, some strongly disagreed with this policy, calling it “condescending” and unreasonable.
One person wrote: “I’d report this to Airbnb.
“There’s nothing reasonable about it.”
While someone else took it even further: “I’ve always found the excessive post card instructions in Airbnb‘s to be extremely condescending.
“It also makes me feel that the people renting out there place are often not in a financial position to actively take the needed risk to be temporary landlords and shouldn’t be doing it.
“And now I’m not saying the larger rental companies don’t have their problems.
“But if I’m going to be handing money over to stay in a rental, I don’t want a lecture in every room on what I can and can not do.”
And the comments made their way back to plain angry eventually: “‘We will be forced to charge you’ by who? Yourself? Everything about this sign is a joke.”
One person even called on others to stop using Airbnb altogether.
According to InCharge Debt Solutions, tenants have several rights in the United States:
As a tenant, you have certain rights, and while they vary from state to state, there is a list of standard requirements virtually every landlord in the U.S. must provide:
Landlords can keep security deposits for several reasons. These include:
If landlords don’t make any necessary repairs, tenants should:
They slammed: “Airbnb has destroyed neighborhoods allowing owners to hoard homes and turn those into hotels.
“This has contributed to the extreme home prices we see today.
“If you want to run a hotel, then you need to buy a real hotel building!”
But some saw the sense in this policy, saying that it made sense for the host to spell it out on the sign.
A defender of the policy chimed in: “Oh I get it.
“The people the signs are meant to inform are the exact people who will not read the signs. It’s a tough spot for the host.”
Another Reddit user on this side said: “I imagine it’s somewhere with communal dumpsters.
“This is pretty common in parts of Europe where small streets don’t really lend themselves to everyone having their own bins.”
While a thrid got retro with it: “Tbh that sounds like a completely reasonable puzzle from a 90s point and click adventure game.”
A SUPER Bowl 59 champion has been carted off the field in an emotional scene with his teammates.
The Houston Texans saw one of their star players go down with an injury as the team gathered in silence over a potential long-term concern.
On Thursday, Texans safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was carted off during training camp practice in West Virginia, per ESPN.
Gardner-Johnson suffered a right leg injury while tackling wide receiver John Metchie III and was unable to put weight on his leg, per KPRC2 in Houston.
The 27-year-old was visibly upset as he pounded the ground with his hand.
It was an emotional moment at The Greenbrier Sports Performance Center as teammates took a knee and gathered around Gardner-Johnson.
The seven-year veteran couldn’t walk as he was placed on a cart and sent to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging exam.
Texans coach DeMarco Ryans said it was “tough to watch” Gardner-Johnson suffer the injury and called the scene “heartbreaking,” according to KPRC2.
The Texans received Gardner-Johnson’s services in a March trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, who got back offensive lineman Kenyon Green and a 2025 fifth-round pick.
Gardner-Johnson helped the Eagles secure the franchise’s second Super Bowl title in February.
He was set for a major role in the Texans’ defense as a starter.
Gardner-Johnson had a great 2024 season in his second stint with the Eagles.
He recorded six interceptions in 16 regular-season games and scored a defensive touchdown.
The 5-foot-11 defender signed a three-year, $27 million contract with the Eagles in 2024 after he played with them in 2022 following three seasons with the New Orleans Saints.
Gardner-Johnson appeared in just three games for the Detroit Lions during his injury-plagued 2023 season.
Fans reacted to Johnson’s latest injury, which could end his 2025 season.
“Damn, get better CJ,” one wrote.
“Couldn’t even walk to the cart. Had to pick him up right where he got injured. Did not look good,” another commented.
“Prayers up for a dawg,” a third said.
“An absolute shame,” a fourth added.
