What if instead of the host using AirBnB he was just a local Bed and Breakfast (those existed before AirBnb). Who's fault is it then?
I forget the term for it, but there is a legal definition that limits liability in a lot of these kinds of cases because it can get very broad. I personally, find your assertion that AirBnB is to blame to be too broad. I can easily think of a situation that this same scenario happens without AriBnB.
This individual fucked up, the situation was handled really well by the OP and a few others.
Conversely, I'd say that from the article AirBNB fighting regulation and to not pay taxes is their fault.
it doesn't seem like you actually disagree, but I wasn't sure where to put this post in the somewhat disjointed thread.
I was glad to hear the jury agreed that the action was appropriate.
Drinking to excess has consequences, including death. Either from liver failure or lead poisionong.
He wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for AirBNB. He likely could have asked the concierge at the hotel he was staying at for help finding his room in his drunken state.
