They rented an Airbnb for three weeks, and with what they did, they left an electricity bill of 1,400 euros.

In recent years, platforms like Airbnb have become increasingly popular as an alternative to hotels, hostels, or rural houses. This is generally due to their lower prices, but even so, these rentals of individual homes are more than profitable for the owners of these accommodations.

Or so it happens in the vast majority of cases, but as Ashley, an American Airbnb owner, pointed out on her TikTok account, in this case the visit of some guests has cost her a fortune , and the worst part is that they didn't break anything.

In fact, at the beginning of the video the woman explains that at first everything went smoothly and that the experience was satisfactory for both parties, where they even gave it five stars and when the owner arrived at the house after these tenants left, she checked that everything was in its place and that it worked perfectly.

The problem arose when the end of the month arrived, and the energy company sent her the electricity bill. Although it's true that electricity prices are high , the homeowner couldn't believe the bill she received was $1,500 , which is approximately €1,400. The first thing she did was call the electricity company, but they assured her that the charge was correct.

The next step was to check the security cameras outside the accommodation, and that's where he saw how the tenants who had been there for the last three weeks, on the day they were leaving, were charging a charging station they had installed in the garden to recharge their electric car, as well as 10 computers.

The woman, desperate to find out how her electricity bill had risen so much, given that her house only had basic appliances, tried every way to contact the tenants, and after several attempts, she succeeded.

They admitted to her that they had spent their time there mining cryptocurrencies, which, as is well known, requires a very high power consumption to keep the computers mining nonstop. The most curious thing of all is that the tenants were willing to pay her electricity bill, claiming they had earned $100,000 in that time. This seems impossible due to computer power and time constraints, but the owner still claims they paid her.

To ensure this didn't happen again, he decided to impose two new rules on his Airbnb listing. First, he banned cryptocurrency mining on the property, and also banned the installation of electric vehicle charging stations.
