People have been told to leave their accommodation mid holiday after property rentals firm Sonder suddenly went bankrupt.

It comes after Marriott hotels terminated its leasing agreement with Sonder, which is said was "due to Sonder's default".

One customer on Reddit said he couldn't get back in to his room where his belongings were, while others shared pictures of themselves carting luggage through the streets, seeking accommodation elsewhere.

Sonder rooms can longer be booked via the Marriott site and app. Marriott said it was helping people who booked via its own platforms but was advising those who booked via a third party to ask for a refund via their credit card issuer.

"Sonder has faced severe financial constraints arising from, among other things, prolonged challenges in the integration of the company's systems and booking arrangements with Marriott International," Sonder said in a statement on its website.
