Unpaid Airbnb guest overstays rental for over 500 days, refuses eviction

A guest who rented an Airbnb in Brentwood, Los Angeles, has refused to leave the property for over 540 days and has not paid rent since her stay ended in April 2022. The homeowner, Dr. Sascha Jovanovic, is engaged in a legal battle with the guest, Elizabeth Hirschhorn, who demands a $100,000 relocation fee. The city has determined that the property has code violations, preventing eviction, and granting Hirschhorn strong tenant protections. All upcoming reservations have been canceled as the dispute continues.
