I have never used the service, but I always assumed that they pre-screened the customers and the hosts. I'm really surprised to hear that they don't have a screening process, like background checks, and that they don't carry some for on insurance to cover damages.
They certainly don't seem to make the effort to inform hosts of those two points. Hosts should be completely aware that AirBnB, 1) does NO background checks or verifications on possible tenants, and 2) does NOT insure any damages.
- ck2 15y agoTSA and cops are both screened before they are hired, doesn't prevent the horror stories. How do you know the people who do the screening actually do anything? What's their "skin in the game"?
- Jilly 15y agoIf people are unable to read the TOS, which states Airbnb does no background checks not sure how it's Airbnb's fault when something goes amiss. They do not vet either the hosts or the renters. Either party could be throwing major shade and basically if you're a person devoid of common sense and good judgment the services provided by Airbnb probably aren't for you. Personally, I could not use either because my HOA expressly forbids short term leases for the reasons driven home by this incident.
