MGTOW | AIRBNB in Aberdeen Washington | Host stole $137 from me

[Joshua574]

The airbnb host ** that i'm with now and i've been with for the past 6 months has decided not to report her payments from me to airbnb. She's been blackmailing me by forcing me to pay $137 for a broken plastic door in the mini refrigerator that she put in the room. The door was already broken and then she blackmailed me into paying for it or else i have to leave. The problem for me is that i have nowhere else to go that's as cheap as this. She's letting me live in a tent in the backyard and i've been back here for about 4 months. I also paid her over $500 ( i have a receipt with her signiture) for the room.  She told me she doesn't want to report to airbnb. Now she's telling me she won't give me the refrigerator that i paid for and trying to force me into a corner. I've already paid her over $2000 under the table and the rest is through airbnb. She's been a horrible person to me and i can't take it anymore. I have to tell someone about it. I have video proof, receipts and images of my tent in the backyard. Please keep this confidential for now, i don't want to get kicked out. But this is horrible airbnb service. The host i've been with has been horrible. I've only been stuck here because of COVID-19 has destroyed my business. I had to borrow money from all sorts of friends and family just to pay for this. I have nowhere to go. I can't let her know i'm reporting to you. I have nowhere else to go. I can't let her know i'm reporting to you. I have nowhere else to go. I've got no money left. i've had to pay her everything. COVID-19 slowed my business down and i'm stuck. I've got all the evidence in my airbnb inbox. I lost over $200 in food because she refuses to give me a refrigerator. All of my food has rotted and went bad because i've had to live out of ice chest because of this woman. I need some help here. I've already reported her to airbnb. #mgtow #airbnb
