Las Vegas isn’t just about hotels — short-term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO have become increasingly popular. But what happens if a guest is injured at a vacation rental? From broken stairs to unsafe pools, these accidents raise tricky questions about liability.
Common Vacation Rental Accidents
- Slip & Falls – Wet floors, broken tiles, or loose rugs.
- Pool Injuries – Drownings or chemical-related accidents.
- Structural Hazards – Collapsing decks, faulty staircases.
- Carbon Monoxide & Fire Hazards – Faulty detectors or poor maintenance.
- Negligent Security – Break-ins or unsafe locks leading to harm.
Who’s Liable?
- Hosts/Property Owners – Must provide safe premises for guests.
- Management Companies – If they oversee cleaning and maintenance.
- Contractors – Liable if faulty repairs caused the accident.
- Platform Liability (Airbnb/VRBO): Limited, but claims may apply in some cases.
Nevada Law on Vacation Rental Injuries
Under Nevada premises liability law, property owners owe a duty of care to invited guests. Even if a rental is managed remotely, hosts can still be held accountable for unsafe conditions.
Challenges in Vacation Rental Claims
- Hosts often deny responsibility or lack insurance.
- Airbnb contracts may contain disclaimers shifting liability.
- Out-of-state hosts complicate jurisdiction.
Real-World Examples
- A guest falls on a broken staircase in a rental home.
- Children injured in a poorly maintained backyard pool.
- Visitors suffer carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty heater.
What to Do After a Vacation Rental Accident
- Seek medical help right away.
- Document unsafe conditions with photos.
- Report the incident to Airbnb or the booking platform.
- Gather witness details if applicable.
- Contact a Las Vegas premises liability attorney.
