If you wanted to rent an Airbnb and you couldn’t because your phone number was associated with a negatively reviewed account, anyone who had the ability to get a phone number has the ability to get a second. It may be a minor inconvenience but not a particularly costly one.

If I was a renter and wanted to disassociate from bad reviews, I imagine the easiest way to do it would be to transfer overship of the property to a holding company or similar. This is far harder to do and there’s far more cost.
