Use Airbnb, Uber or Lyft? Beware. There can be a dark side to sharing with strangers

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...es/4200986002/

Earlier this year, RJ Walker, 28, lived through what he calls a "sharing economy nightmare.”

The part-time Lyft driver arrived home after work to discover strange cars blocking his driveway.

He cautiously approached the three-bedroom house he called home for nine years to discover a group of strangers lounging around.

“Five random people were basically living in my house,” Walker said. “They had a key. They were eating my food and using my dishes. They used my soap, shampoo. They did laundry using my detergent. They were hoteling in my house, and I was expected to be the maid.”

After some back-and-forth with the surprise guests, he discovered that his landlord rented out the spare bedroom on Airbnb. Walker's property was listed as amenities.
