Pullman, WA asked in Business Law, Real Estate Law, Criminal Law and Landlord - Tenant for Utah

Q: Our airbnb Host left a loaded gun on the property without informing us is there anything that prevents him from doing so

We showed up to our Air BNB (house rental) and there was a loaded gun in the closet. We are all college students and non of us have experience with guns, so we find that this is extremely unsafe. It was in plain view in the closet of one of the bedrooms. The Air bnb host later contacted us and said "I forgot to turn the hose off, is there a good time for me to come do this". We were out of the house, downtown, and so we told him whenever is fine to do so. When we came back the gun was gone. We feel extremely unsafe because there were minors in the home with us and non of us have gun licenses.
