The blame here lies mostly with you.

To have a co-host, the account should be in the owner’s name & the co-host be listed as a co-host, thus the 5% would go into his account & 95% to yours. 5% is impossibly low. Depending upon responsibilities, it should be 20-60%. Also since you would be the primary, you determine what the co-host can edit or access such as pictures & rental description.

The pictures were not of your rental property.
The rates charged were more than you discussed.
You didn’t look at the listing until after at least 2 rentals.
You didn’t receive any payment. You allowed full payment to go to the co-host.
In other words, you were trusting & disengaged from the rental.

Ask Airbnb to shut the listing down for your address because it is fake.
Create your own listing.
Either manage it yourself or find a real property management company to manage it.
Look at your listing often.

I don’t see Airbnb being responsible to pay you. Unfortunately you had a learning experience related to unwise business practices.

Did you create the title for this posting? It is inaccurate. You may wish to change it. Your co-host did the misdeed, not the host/owner.
