A Florida mom is suing a company that vets guests for Airbnb after she says she was banned from the short-term rental platform over a pair of past felony convictions that have since been expunged.

The mistake, which the lawsuit argues never should have happened, left the woman unable to take her daughter to a series of potentially lucrative rodeo competitions, and prevented the girl — whose winnings provide the family’s main source of income — from qualifying for the barrel racing national championships.

    Public record can’t be owned by a private company and if they maintain a copy, they are responsible with keeping information up-to-date and if the record is expunged they are by law required to destroy it.

      Personally, I think the chances of you believing the article is a lot higher than you believing me rewording the article.

      Like, even just explaining the difference between “can” and “legally can” would help you out here. But there’s just a lot of steps likely involved with getting you caught up.

      Just read the article
