When you first met or talked to Royce L, you would lovely have him to manage your home for Airbnb since he was so sweet, so nice. He would give you a feeling that he was the right person to trust and to rely on. He told me that my home could probably rent for 10K or more each month. I was so exciting. Per his request, I sent him $20K to buy beds, couches, tables, TV and kitchenware and supplies to have the home ready for Airbnb.
The house was put on Market on August 2023. The fist 3 months, I received about $6000 check each moth. But, in the 4th month, November 2023, the check I received was only $1492. I was told the so huge drop was due to season. Since then, the check they sent to me never being good at all. Even in May 2024, the check they sent to me was only little bit over $4000.
I questioned Royce L a few times for the so low incomes and he could always list many reason why. And I always accepted his explanation, since I still trusted him.
Unfortunately, accident happened. on 4/26/24 morning, I went to the house to maintenance the yard. I had got into Airbnb.com and confirmed there were no tenants in a few days before I leaving home. But, when I got there, I saw two cars parking in the house parking lot. Through the windows I also saw people moving inside of the house. In the same day evening, I went back to check and the same two cars were still there and the inside of the house, the lights were on. On 4/27/24, I droved by the house in the evening, I saw two cars was just left the house and the inside of the house, all lights were on. I didn't check on 4/28/24 since the house was booked already.
In May 2024, I got April 2024 rental activities and expensive report, these two days (4/26/24 and 4/27/24) rental was missed. I called Roy L to ask him if the report was done by himself or some one else. He said yes, he did. I then asked him from 4/24/24 to 4/28/24 no tenants? He said no except new tenants after 4:30 pm. I asked him, are you sue? He answer, yes.
Now, I started to wake up to understand why my rent checks why so low.
You can imagine Royce L made a lot of story to his cheating actives. But, it's useless. Everybody may question: "he only did once?" I do the same.
His beautiful image in my brain was gone instead of ugly robbery.
All of my friends lough at me since they all know I had a wonderful Airbnb manager and his name is Royce Lee. read more
