Or to avoid issues with their landlord.

Or because their listing under their real name and real address has too many negative reviews.

You don't get the exact address until you've paid - just the street.

It's still pretty obvious from photos, etc. I know someone who listed his apartment and was contacted by the building management, who'd seen his listing.

I've been given the wrong streets during browsing. Hosts give out an address a block or three away so their landlord is less likely to find it.

I believe it was mostly landlord dodging, but the fake address was also a better location.
