Alexander and Stacy Neir allegedly lied to get around the rule which state you can only rent out your primary residence on Airbnb.

Investigators "determined that the Neirs live in a home in Denver's Stapleton Neighborhood." However, the couple reportedly signed paperwork stating that a property they own at on Eliot Street was Alexander's primary residence, and a property on Tennyson Street was Stacy's primary residence.

The district attorney's office says they rented out two properties which they didn't live in full-time.

The couple turned themselves in and were charged on Tuesday.
