Also that if he did not approve your cancellation and refund immediately, you would report him to AirBnB and NYC authorities. You could have responded to that message by telling him that you declined to participate in the fraud and wanted to cancel. “ Airbnbs are 100% prepaid and no-showing, even with just cause, means some sort of claw-back of funds, neither quick nor fun.”Īctually, while you have pre-paid in full, AirBnB does not pass the money on to the owner until after you arrive, check in, and approve of the rental.
Nothing worse to arrive and find the locks have been changed or the host has scampered because they were caught and you are kicked to the curb.so to speak. If it it isn't city compliant, then you may be able to apply to AirBnB for full cancellation refund. I would suggest you review the AirBnB website for any onus on the renter in an illegal space. A number of cities, like Barcelona or Paris, require the apartment be registered and to display the registration number on their public listing. It will at least get them reviewing it.Īs an AirBnB user, one should already know many cities have issues with short lets and have laws about them, and do a quick review of the city's rules and requirements. The closest is 'I believe this type of rental is not allowed in my neighborhood'. The AirBnB app offers a link to report the listing, though that reporting option isn't obvious. NYC clearly states short let rentals can only be a room or space you are sharing with the owners.
