Dealing with problem neighbors is tough, especially when those neighbors are short-term renters who don’t respect the rules.

So, what would you do if an Airbnb guest blocked your driveway and refused to move their car?

In today’s story, a homeowner finds themselves in this exact dilemma and decides to take action.

Here’s what happened.

AITA for getting my neighbor’s Airbnb guests’ car towed?

So, I’ve had a ton of issues with Airbnbs in my neighborhood in the past.

I won’t get into all of it, but just know that it’s been a nightmare, including my house being hit by 20 bullets during a gunfight at a neighbor’s Airbnb party earlier this year.

Fast-forward to last night, and the guests at the Airbnb next door were blocking our shared driveway.

I went out and politely asked them to move their car.

They responded rudely, saying, “I haven’t got the keys. NO,” and then drove off in another car.

This was an unexpected turn of events.

I’ve tried reaching out to the Airbnb owner before, but she hasn’t responded to me since May.

Given her track record of ignoring my messages, I assumed she wouldn’t do anything this time either.

So, I shot her a quick text and called the non-emergency police line, explained the situation, and they said they would make the guests move it.

Well, it turns out they towed the car instead.

Now, the Airbnb owner is furious, saying I didn’t give her guests a chance to move it.

AITA?

Eek. That escalated way more than they anticipated.

Let’s see what the readers over at Reddit had to say about this dilemma.
