"Ari Teman rented his home to a man through the apartment-sharing website. But unfortunately for him, his apartment was used for a 'BBW Panty Raid Party.' His home was ransacked and his belongings destroyed. Airbnb.com is paying Teman $23,817 to cover the damages.
Maybe they should call it Airbn-Booty.
A Chelsea mans pricey apartment was ransacked and his belongings destroyed over the weekend during a raucous BBW Panty Raid Party hosted by the man who rented the pad using Airbnb.com.
The popular apartment-share website agreed to pay Ari Teman $23,817 to cover the damages and is putting him up in a hotel until he can find a new place to live.
Teman, 31, had no idea his one-bedroom apartment would be the site of a sex party when he agreed to rent the home this weekend for $300 a night to a man named David.
The renter said he was in town for a friends wedding and needed a place to lay his head but he had a heck of a lot more in mind.
The visitor who said he was in town for a wedding was really a promoter who had rented the apartment in order to have the sex party advertised here.
Teman, a comedian, found this out the hard way when he returned to his building a few hours after handing the keys to David.
There was a huge posse of large men and women in hip-hop attire looking like they got tossed from a club, hanging out in front, he said.
Inside his apartment, there were another half-dozen people moving around his furniture, tossing some of it carelessly outside.
Ari Teman says his Chelsea apartment was ruined after it was ransakced by people paying $20 a pop to party.
My first impression was that I had been robbed by a very large crew, he recalled.
It wasnt until Teman Googled Davids phone number that he discovered they were flocking to his pad for a $20-per-person booty bash advertised on Twitter.
Comedian Ari Teman slammed Airbnb on Twitter for putting an 'illegal, dangerous sex ring' in his apartment.
To make room for the big shindig, the partiers threw aside the furniture in Temans apartment and ruined his valuable guitar and drum sets.
I caught them taking my white sofa out into the backyard alley, he said.
You assume most people have basic human decency and wont destroy your stuff.
Additionally, there was a bag of condoms and liquor on the floor, said Teman, who called the cops and filed a complaint with Airbnb.
In a statement, Airbnb said that problems for hosts and guests are incredibly rare, but when they happen, we try to help make things right.
