Is security deposit applied to total payment??? Or separate???

Hello all,

I am New to Airbnb....I was just asked if their deposit goes towards the final cost or if it will be a seperate charge? Can anyone help me out?? I would appreciate it! Thanks!

@Tim52 Deposits are not charged or held against the credit card unless a claim is filed by the host. See Help Center for details, and be sure to explore the information on hosting so you don't miss important information.

They don't pay the security deposit - it is merely an agreement to charge up to your security deposit level if there is a claim and it is agree by the guest, etc...
