I suggest to read the HELP, using right keywords to find the information you need.

I include already a few here:

Hope this helps,

i just don't understand do AIRBNB take the security upfront or if there is damages do AIRBNB then chase the money?

Thanks again

@Anonymous   There is no real security deposit, it's really a preventative measure, airbnb never takes the money and will not ever 'take' it unless the guest agrees that the money be released.  So, don't count on it.
