BULLSHIT. AirBnB will always protect the hosts because that’s how they keep making their money. They give zero fucks about guests.

It is the same story in most other major cities world wide. Staying in basically any rental that is provided on the website in Vancouver is illegal as they are not zoned as commerical, rather residential and any stay of under 90 days is against the law. Sorry but your ignorance to follow the local bylaws of the city you are visiting resulted in this senario unfolding. Sure she was playing the game as the city rarely enforces this bylaw, and in turn residential condo stratas are having to take the job on and do it themselves. And yes, airbnb certainly allows and facilitates this sort of behavior as it is essential to their revenue stream. A large percentage of people who rent their spaces on Airbnb do not own or have permission to sublet to you. If you are not comfotartble with this reality, then it is best that you stay at hotels or at least do your due diligence and research whether the local bylaws permit such rentals in the first place in the city you are visiting.

What the hell! And airbnb’s response to the situation is pure unadulterated CRAP.

And they are. Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
