You answered your own question here. It's a bit mystifying why you're giving AirBNB a complete pass here when they were the ones that set up the connection.
It's possible for both parties to be at fault.

- michaelchisari 11y agoThis is an issue, though, if AirBNB is encouraging people to break the law, and simply sees the occasional payout as "insurance" when someone gets caught. It reminds me of the recall formula outlined in Fight Club.
- vacri 11y agowhere did marcoperaza even hint at that?
- marcoperaza 11y agoAirBnB is pretty transparent about how their verification--or rather, the lack thereof--of tenant trustworthiness works. Can you hold Tinder responsible for matching you with someone that then goes on to rob your house?
- vacri 11y agoTinder is a (generally free) 'meet a person' app, not an 'invite a person into your house' service that charges fees, and AirBnB is acting more like a broker than a matchmaker. There isn't an explicit expectation that the person you're joined up with on Tinder must be allowed into your house. edit: clarification
- threatofrain 11y agoAirBNB does take responsibility for the uncertainties brought on by the renting with strangers. By covering property damage. That sounds solidly responsible. AirBNB should not be responsible for controlling a vague group of data trackers, rental and management companies, and landowners, and what secret lists they create. How are you supposed to stop somebody from creating a list? And we don't actually know why this man has been blacklisted. Is it perhaps because nobody wants to get involved with somebody with a history for negative media exposure?
