Damage claim without security deposit

Dear all,

 

I have damages in my apartment after renting it out (via Airbnb and for the very first time).  I did not charge a security deposit.  Can I get money from the person who rented my apartment?  What should I do?  Any help is much appreciated.

@Peter96 If you decided not to have a security deposit, then you decided you can accept the liability for minor damage. You can try to file a claim using the resolution center, but it will be much more difficult without a deposit. Guests who know they are careless or tend to break things typically look for listings without security deposits, so you're inviting trouble by not having one.

the security deposit that I applied to my rental property on the Airbnb site disappeared, twice.
