This makes me wonder if I have a case to sue Airbnb for being banned for life for refusing to pay a large fee for damages I didn’t incur, they asked me to prove I didn’t turn the gas on in a stove (that I never used) and leave it, causing the fire dept to break the door open, the cost of an emergency locksmith and the large metal door was > $1500 and I wouldn’t have used Airbnb again after that, but it really rubbed me the wrong way when I asked for things like a report from the fire dept, the bill for the locksmith, and they refused to provide it to me and asked me to provide my own evidence. Perhaps they have video of me drunkenly bumping into the stove knob, even so I have a hard time seeing how it’s my job to evaluate the safety of appliances at a rental location.

>Perhaps they have video of me drunkenly bumping into the stove knob What?

  The gas leak originated from the stove. The only thing I can think of where I might have had some involvement is bumping into the knob to turn on the gas flow. I have never owned a gas stove so maybe I am really off here but I’m trying to accept that maybe I was culpable or to see it from their point of view as a business.

    Was there an earth-shattering kaboom?

      Nothing caught fire. The smell of gas was enough to invite the fire department and they shut it off when they arrived. No damage but what was done by them.
