    Use Airbnb, Uber or Lyft? Beware. There can be a dark side to sharing with strangers

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...es/4200986002/

    Earlier this year, RJ Walker, 28, lived through what he calls a "sharing economy nightmare.”

    The part-time Lyft driver arrived home after work to discover strange cars blocking his driveway.

    He cautiously approached the three-bedroom house he called home for nine years to discover a group of strangers lounging around.

    “Five random people were basically living in my house,” Walker said. “They had a key. They were eating my food and using my dishes. They used my soap, shampoo. They did laundry using my detergent. They were hoteling in my house, and I was expected to be the maid.”

    After some back-and-forth with the surprise guests, he discovered that his landlord rented out the spare bedroom on Airbnb. Walker's property was listed as amenities.

        Well if you like renting a place it's in your favor to sign a lease. What a strange story and a fucked up thing to do as a landlord.

          Misleading title, the "dark side" is an asshole landlord and has nothing to do with sharing economy
