An Airbnb host who was left with a $640 utility bill suspects guests left the gas and water taps running after he did not meet their cancellation request
An Airbnb host in South Korea is facing a $640 utility bill after two guests left the gas and water taps running for prolonged periods during their booking, broadcastersays he is now on the hook for 840,000 South Korean won after he rented out a property in the capital city of Seoul to an unnamed Chinese couple for 25 days in March. Lee did not disclose the amount he was paid for the booking.
He visited the property only to find an empty home with the windows left wide open, and the gas still turned on, per SBS. The gas usage resulted in a 640,000 won charge, according to a video posted by SBS on YouTube on April 7.Lee was particularly vexed about a 170,000 won water bill — the charge for using about 120 metric tons of water, per SBS. Seoul's water authority told SBS that the quantity is what eight adults would use in two months.
Lee said he believed the couple was deliberately using so much gas and water in retaliation for not meeting their request to cancel the reservation after they booked the home. The couple then asked Lee if there were surveillance cameras on the property and were told there were not, per SBS.
