Wonderful news! Where? Is it small claims court or a one on one with an attorney? Or … a Class Action case? So many hosts in my area are FED UP with the Bad Business Practices of Airbnb.
If you’re not able to talk about it right now as it’s in court, I understand. Would appreciate it if you’d keep in touch and let us know the outcome. Rooting for you to be victorious!

Over the course of 5 years, the political climate for Airbnb became difficult in NYC. Certain hosts were being targeted by the city and fined exorbitant fees. Airbnb was not supportive either legally or financially.
The quality of the guests also diminished as the site became more popular. The rates that you could charged also became more competitive. My local competition was a host in a housing project renting out a room for $40.00 a night. The suggested my listing charge $43.00 per night.
For those that do not understand how low budget that is, an unfurnished room with no electric, heat, internet cable would run around a minumum of $50-$60 dollars a night.

After multiple thefts, apartment damage, unauthorized parties, a physical altercation with a guest, bad energy and attitude, I decided to shut down the business.

I still chose to use it as a guest until I realized that Airbnb was 100% complicit with illegal listings (wrong address given to avoid issues with building management) that they were attempting to have me still pay for. I have never used the platform again and never will again.

I met Brian Chesky on several occasions and each time, I found him disingenuous. I am convinced now that people like Brian Chesky and Mark Zuckerberg are not creative geniuses but dishonest hucksters.
