Woman ends up stuck with temporary house guest who 'refuses to leave her home'

A woman was left raging after claiming a temporary tenant refused to leave her California home.

In a furious explicit-filled rant reposted to the @2RawTooReal Twitter account, the woman alleged that her temporary house guest wouldn't leave – despite getting the police involved.

She claimed that she posted an advertisement on a popular rental website to help with the mortgage while she was on holiday. The guest was supposed to be gone three days before she arrived home.

In a follow-up video, she filmed the unidentified (and unwelcome) lodger who brutally hit back: "I ain't going nowhere. Deal with it."

After the homeowner accused the stranger of being a "freeloader", she replied furiously: "Call the police because I ain't going nowhere. Don't touch that [bedroom] door, or I'm calling the police on you. They're gonna arrest you."

The would-be tenant proceeded to make herself comfortable and even went as far as lighting a cigarette in the homeowner's dining area.

"Are you smoking in my house?" the enraged woman said, before abruptly ending the video.

The viral footage was soon inundated with responses from stunned Twitter users.

A number pointed out that, in some states, renters can establish themselves as tenants if they booked a stay for 30 days or longer, according to GU.

One person came up with their own innovative solution, writing: "This is the part where I cut off all the power, the cable, internet, etc. We are gonna live like it’s 1800. I would summon the worst vindictive version of myself to make it as uncomfortable AF for them to get them out of my house."

Another joked: "Lmfaooo why is she so comfortable!?! Walking around with no shoes on, moving slowly etc."

Meanwhile, a third person added: "This is one of the most insane things I've ever seen."
