Published:A Toronto landlord is suing her tenants, the City of Toronto, and Airbnb for $1.6M after her downtown apartment was allegedly rented out on the online platform without her knowledge or permission.
Despite those restrictions, Rasquinha says Carter’s partner, Jose Cornejo Kelly, was issued a license from the City of Toronto on July 14 to use the unit for short-term rental purposes. Shortly there after, the apartment popped up on Airbnb. With over 30 reviews on the unit’s Airbnb listing as of April 2023, it appeared the apartment had been rented out at least 30 times in nine months.
“Airbnb conspired with Carter and Kelly to deceit the plaintiff and violate the condominium declaration thereby causing increased foot traffic, wear and tear, unreasonable noise, increased garbage, security issues and others at the property for which the plaintiff would be unjustly liable for,” the statement of claim reads.
