Ditto.
I will say that I have allowed third party bookings which worked out really well (In all cases local organizers of a major convention - brought in visiting speakers, we have a group coming to dismantle an exhibit and their prior reviews mention this is always the situation, etc. ). However, I make it clear I need the names, business emails and telephone numbers of each guest in advance.
But it's nervy for someone to book and say "hey,!" I'm not staying but you can call if anything happens. Technically they won't have checked, they may or may not have liability if something goes wrong - and RED FLAG - people coming in for sporting events have been my worst guests. WORST.
He wants to book - he needs to transfer to one of the people staying - or he needs to agree to sign a contract/lease accepting all liability for problems, damage, etc. Guests have to confirm by email that they understand the house rules. (Then make sure duplicates are printed out and posted in the apartment).
Then ALL parties need to arrive with valid government issued ID's in order to gain access to the keys.

Good grief - this is not how Airbnb is supposed to work. We are not a cheap hotel alternative.
