None of the allegations in the claim have been proven in court, and a statement of defence hasn't been filed at this time.3 people taken to hospital after out-of-control house party in RM of Rosser, RCMP say Two teens who were assaulted, and a third who suffered an overdose, were taken to hospital following that party, police have previously said.Investigators have determined the party was announced on the social media app Snapchat and that many people who attended didn't know each other.

Maybe they should have rented to stable long term tenants and not been so greedy. No sympathy.

Oh ffs “Vrbo just wants to earn money without any concerns about safety” complains family who rents their home to random strangers for money

Aren't you the company using your employees to send death threats? How is that journalism?

Liability insurance through Vrbo doesn't cover damage to the listing caused by guests. Vrbo hosts are directed to buy additional insurance through a third party for coverage beyond their liability insurance.

Ok….but who rents a VRBO not even in Winnipeg but Northwest of Winnipeg

be careful who you rent to eh , zero sympathy for these folks looking to make a fast dollar imo they can call their insurance company

That’s what insurance is for. The owners need to reach into their own pockets rather than attempting to rifle through someone else’s.

A family could be living there. No sympathy.
