while I am sorry you have a disability and mental health challenges which I’m sure make life very difficult, the main issue is that you can’t expect to stay in accommodation longer than you have paid for. Maybe the host has someone else booked in, or just needs the space for their own reasons. Your disability has nothing to do with the fact that you can only stay in accommodation you can pay for. The host’s place is not a free emergency shelter. While it would be nice if she could have let you stay, it is unreasonable to expect to stay for free. What do you think a hotel would have done?

You are literally the most pathetic human being on the planet. The hosts and Airbnb did you a favor by not kissing your ass and indulging your victim mentality. Grow up and stop being an obnoxious, entitled whiner.

The Airbnb community is better if you stay far, far away.

Hosts provide accommodation and NOT psychiatric counselling. Get real and get a good shrink.

This is what I replied on Twitter, but it probably would not get to the OP:

“I’m not certain replying to AirbnbHell tweet wl get to OP. Airbnb provide public accommodation and bound by disability rights law. In particular, there are many outstanding complaints under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) which may apply overseas”

Airbnb have no conscience. In the context of Trumpian politics, greed is good and the weak have no rights. Except that the ADA, and similar UK legislation, make them liable for discrimination against the disabled. Use government agencies and charitable organisations to file a claim against them. Loss of money is the only pain such firms understand.
