Vengeful couple leave taps on at AirBnb using 120 TONNES of water as petty revenge on host in booking row | The Sun
AN ENRAGED couple decided to take excessive revenge on their AirBnb host after the property was not all they had hoped.
The Chinese pair left the taps running in the rental home in Seoul, South Korea for 25 days using a mega 120 tonnes of water after discovering the property was not in the centre of the city.
The unidentified couple had booked the property for 25 days on Airbnb without looking properly at the location, reported South China Morning Post.
However, on arrival, they were disappointed by the location being in the suburbs and requested the host to cancel their stay.
The host declined to the cancel their reservation as per the rules of home-sharing site, that more advance notice of cancellation is required.
The renters appeared to accept this, before inquiring as to whether there were surveillance cameras in the property.

The answer was no and the tourists embarked on their campaign of revenge.
In a cruel response, they left the taps running and the lights and gas on for the entire 25 days to waste as much resources as possible.
They only briefly returned to the home every four or so days for less than five minutes throughout their entire stay, presumably to check on their destructive progress.
It landed the Airbnb host with a £680 bill for their excessive water, electricity and gas consumption.

Originally the host had been none the wiser until she was called by the gas company to ask why her usage had exponentially increased.
“They used 120 tonnes of water in five days,” the host said, referring to the fact that they only visited the property a total of five times during their stay.
The host also had to foot another pricey bill for various miscellaneous expenses caused by the renters, which in total left him £1260 out of pocket.
The upset Seoul landlord allegedly appealed to Airbnb to help with the matter but was told it was between him and the couple and no help was offered.
However, the tourists had left the country leaving the homeowner to fork out his own cash to cover the damage caused by their cruel campaign.
