Vince Villegas, an American Airbnb property manager, shared a nightmare experience after a tenant severely damaged a house in Saugatuck, Michigan, before sending in a $1,000 bill for “makeover services”. The story, reported by the New York Post, created a buzz on TikTok with a video exceeding two million views.
Vince Villegas discovered the house turned upside down: furniture thrown in the snow, plants destroyed, and a red substance smeared on the walls and light switches, forming disturbing patterns. It also showed red dots on a bathroom mirror and a newly painted, scratched piece of furniture. Other unusual items included a stone left in the shower and a sticky substance on a door.
A crazy story!
In his video, the owner said: “When they left, they sent us a bill for $1,000 for their makeover services! » But in reality, putting the house in order cost $3,000 and caused the loss of a week’s rental. The incident took an even stranger turn when he confronted the tenant, who called himself a “well-known Chicago interior designer” and justified his actions by explaining that he wanted to “make the space more welcoming to himself.” and for others.
Before being evicted, the man carried his belongings in garbage bags and left the area by bus. He also took away pieces of cardboard which he presented as works of art. The red substance found on the walls eventually turned out to be lip gloss. According to Vince Villegas, the situation required the intervention of the sheriff. “We saw all the furniture outside… vases, glasses of water, a dog bed at the door. It was absolutely insane,” he explained. The tenant, initially “a little combative” with the police, finally agreed to leave.
