Short-term rental company Sonder Holdings has officially announced its decision to file for bankruptcy and liquidate its assets in the United States. The company attributes its financial struggles to a failed collaboration with the hospitality giant Marriott, which did not yield the expected results.

As the company moves forward with the bankruptcy process, it aims to restructure its financial obligations and explore potential avenues for recovery. This development marks a significant shift in the short-term rental landscape, raising questions about the future of similar businesses in an evolving market. The announcement has sent ripples through the industry, prompting discussions on sustainability and profitability in the short-term rental sector.
