Clearly it wasn't designed to exclude EJ, but it also likely wasn't designed with EJ in mind. airbnb is no doubt working with an insurance company, and if that company finds an "out", they're going to take advantage of it. Like most all renter contracts, it excludes subletting without consent, which is what EJ may have been doing.
- tptacek 15y agoLet's definitely have a 19-comment argument speculating about the worst possible case scenario with the $50,000 guarantee Airbnb just announced, because that will definitely pump the oxygen back into the thread.
- Klinky 15y agoWell I hope AirBnB is thinking about the worst case scenario because it doesn't appear they were thinking about it in the past.
- jacquesm 15y agoAfter mentioning EJ specifically in this post and very specifically mentioning that they will take care of her not taking care of her would be 'suicide by media' at this point. If you thought what happened so far was ugly I'd hate to see what would happen if that were the case. Can we move past this? Sure it is all words but they are on the company blog this time, not in a forum and to me they come across as written by a man that has seen the Elephant in person. Specifically: "We will extend this program to EJ and any other hosts who may have reported such property damage while renting on Airbnb in the past."
