AirBNB is known for its global room and apartment rental business but is now expanding its footprint into other niche markets.

Fake News has learned that these new markets include:

  • garages
  • toilets
  • allotments

An AirBNB spokesperson commented:

To expand our business footprint we intend to move aggressively into new markets that can leverage our rental platform.

We got the idea for this move from the old computing concept of time-sharing when mainframe processing power was hired out to users during periods of downtime.

Now, when your car is in on the road, your garage can be used for the temporary storage of stolen goods. When you are not on the toilet someone else can use it when caught short. When you are not tending your allotment someone else can grow cannabis on it.

AirBNB stocks rose on the announcement, given that there are numerically many more allotments, garages, and toilets in the so-called long-tail rental market than rooms and apartments.

An AirBNB "superhost" was ecstatic:

Now I can make full use of my garage, toilets and allotment to serve an even wider range of clients and clean up the new and interesting messes they leave behind.
