I didn’t feel like I had any other choice as there was no hotel or housing availablity on a popular college game weekend and I had my parents and sister with me for the weekend. After much searching, I couldn’t find any other houses to rent that were even near a similar price range, or really any at all. So yeah, the $325 may not be Airbnb’s problem, but what IS Airbnb’s problem is that they let a host treat a guest this way and demand more money and refuse to help me work something out. There is no recourse for a host that fails to communicate for months and then demands more money at the last minute. That is not okay.

You should have said no. If he canceled your reservation AirBnb would have fined him and looked after you. BUT. You say “still wanted his $325”. I assume that means you went outside of the Airbnb platform and paid him directly. That was your second mistake and now you don’t have a leg to stand on. This is not an Airbnb problem
