I recently booked a place in Carmel-by-the-Sea because it is my wife and I's second wedding anniversary. I had to verify my ID when we booked the house and then we were all set. I got an email earlier today saying that our booking had been cancelled and my account has been suspended. I guess when I uploaded my ID, they ran a background check and I have a misdemeanor from 7 years ago. I have positive reviews from hosts that I have booked with in the past. Is there anything I can do to get my account re-activated?
Look up your state and local human rights laws. It may be illegal for you to be denied housing and many other things because of a past criminal conviction. Try to get some clear reason from airbnb as to why they suspended your account.
