-- You sent an “XXX Freak Fest” into my home
By which joshmn means "I invited an XXX Freak Fest into my home in exchange for money."
-- As such, I’m going to be evicted.
Its subtle enough that you miss it the first time you read it until later when you get to 'my landlord is certainly going to make me move after an “XXX Freak Fest”'. Yup, joshmn has in fact not been evicted.
So, lets summarize. You went on a website, found a stranger, accepted money in exchange for your keys. Then they messed with your furniture. Now you want $87k. Oh, and you have trouble looking at people in the eyes.
I am checking with my attorney to see if there is any legal recourse I can take to recover the last five minutes of my life.
AirBNB has insurance for cases like this. It's not much different from getting a hotel room, would you say a hotel's management was stupid if this happened at their property?

Try re-reading that phrase in the context of a standard long-term apartment lease. What's strange or stupid about that?
In a long term lease I'm personally meeting the renter, running a credit check, getting references from previous land lords and/or friend, an up front security deposit equal to 3 months rent, not furnishing the apartment and insuring the apartment against any additional damages.
A standard long-term apartment lease situation is considerably different.
Renting fully furnished homes is common in many countries. AirBNB charges upfront, keeps your CC data on file, has references from previews hosts, and allows landlords to collect a security deposit if wanted. Looks about the same to me.
