Then there needs to be a huge disclaimer about safety liability and people need to be given a checklist of safety items to inspect upon their arrival. There should also be a guarantee of a full refund and/or alternative accommodations if the host fails the checklist. If you really want to blame the customer and put the burden on them for their own safety, make them aware of it. The problem is that informing the consumer of all the risks is going to be less profitable because people may second guess if it's right for them, and the checklist makes AirBnB look like a lot more work.
Either the homeowner needs to see a huge disclaimer and accept liability when they place a property, or the consumer needs to see a huge disclaimer and accept liability when they rent a place, or AirBnB needs to assume responsibility and liability for both. You can't just leave it a grey area where it automatically defaults to the consumer being liable for everything, so that the homeowner and AirBnB can maximize profit while assuming zero risk.
- jacquesm 11y agoI'm all for the consumers seeing a huge disclaimer. That seems entirely fair and something that AirBNB should probably really do.
