unfair for host. Air BNB representative accepted for customers break host's rule, against the law & damage host's house

Hi, my name Angel & I'm the host of address **. I'm totally unhappy & very disappointed with Airbnb Resolution by Jasper of ** for reservation ** for customer Brandie.
We don't agree how Jasper resolved our damage. Jasper's so positive to say "regarding the plumbing, we were contacted by the guest about this initially. This was pre existing damage and we cannot charge the guest". Did Jasper really investigate or Jasper just based on what Brandie lied? Jasper & Brandie please show me the proof that my plumbing was clogged before Brandie checked in. 

I provide evidence that my plumbing was very good when they came. We have the house inspection on Feb 17th 2021 & We just closed this house on Feb 22nd 2021. Then we started to be the host beginning of March & Brandie is the first customer on Mar 5th 2021. So Brandie & Jasper said "clogged plumbing was pre existing damage" that's totally untrue & they were lying.

Don't forget they checked in at 10:30am (earlier than the rule 3 hours) & they didn't complain anything about the toilet in the first 9 hours they stayed in my house, during the party started at 6pm with 20 people; after 9pm they notified me about the toilet's problem. If all toilets were clogged when they checked, why didn't they notice us earlier by message? Why did they wait until 9pm to text me about that trouble (after 9 hours they checked in & after 3 hours party started)?

Our rule for booking limit 10 people & no party. Brandie booked 9 people, but they stayed 15 people and the party over 20 people. Of course my house is too small to handle a lot of people like that at the same time. Too many people in my house & big party are the main causes of the toilets & plumbing failure. Brandie didn't follow the rule: no extra guest, no gathering, no party & keep quiet. But Jasper accepted for Brandie brake our rule & Brandie wasn't charged any penalty to brake the host rule. It means Jasper & Air BNB accept the customers' break the host's rule: add extra guests, party over 20 people in Covid pandemic, against the law of Las Vegas about no gathering, annoy neighbors? Is that my fault? Who has responsibility for my plumbing invoice cost $1,800?

I provided many pictures about our damage but Jasper didn't care. Jasper asked us to provide more receipts about the repairing & replacement. I explained to her from the beginning I didn't know I need to keep them for my claim so I threw them away. At least Jasper can base on all my evidence about our damages to estimate or charge Brandie about my plumbing & penalties of rule breaking, but Jasper called all my damages is errants. I provide again some stuffs was broken by Brandie.

The way Jasper resolved my claim just on single side. Jasper covered Brandie's fault & denied all host's losses. Please read all my good reviews, you will understand how I'm hosting my house, then you will recognize who's right & who lied.

I think Air BNB need to protect hosts more because all hosts trust Air BNB & give our beautiful houses, so we want to work together for long time. But if Air BNB allows customers brake host's rules & damage our houses, we're very disappointed because Air BNB has no any protection for hosts.

Please consider, investigate & escalate my claim.

Thank you so much & have a good day.

@Angel5187  you have not reached Airbnb,  but a community of hosts and guests who provide each other with advice and support.

 

I am sorry that your guests exceeded your guest limit and partied causing damage to your plumbing. Hopefully you were able to cancel the booking and have the additional guests evicted once you knew your guest numbers were exceeded.

 

If Airbnb have made a decision not to support your claim for damages they do have an escalation process which involves having your claim arbitrated . I believe it costs about $400 dollars and if your claim is successful Airbnb will cover the cost @Angel5187  ( I think information about this is on the T&Cs for claiming under the Airbnb Guarantee)

I have escalated & this's how they response. I just provided them my house inspection on 2/17/2021 & the first customer Brandie broke my plumbing on 3/5/2021. I really don't what I should do now1.png
