An Airbnb host in North Carolina is battling guests who are now squatters refusing to leave.
  • Orthodontist Farzana Rahman operates two Airbnbs in the Durham, North Carolina area.
  • Guests who checked into one home in October and booked to stay until May now refuse to leave.
  • There were red flags from the start, like trying to pay cash instead of through Airbnb, she said.

Guests in a North Carolina Airbnb rental are refusing to leave the property after an eight-month stay, according to the homeowner.

They taped a sign to the Airbnb's door that says they are "legal residents," said the Airbnb host, Farzana Rahman.

"It's not fair," Rahman told Business Insider. "I'm losing rent."
