I am officially homeless.
I lost my job in the beginning of March but I was hopeful I would survive. What made me hopeful? I had longer than usual time to pay my rent and was told there was a relief package for airbnb superhosts.
To our surprise, many of us that were more than eligible didn’t even get an invitation to apply to this 250 million dollars relief package.
I am 100% sure this was a publicity stunt. And I will not stop until proven wrong. I will share my story as hard as I possibly can and the intensity of my disappointment for this company will be felt in Brian Chesky’s living room as he prepares for his next deceiving video.
Only shares primary residence? Check
Minimum of 1 year as superhost? Check
Loss of significant percentage? Check
Reliance as significant source of income? Check! Verified identity? Check!
What box did I not check? I’ll never know.
No matter how many times I tried to contact them, all I got were generic answers.
It might be a hard time for the company right now but you dont get to lie to people to look good. Specially if you’re gonna need us in order to get back on your feet!
Now I can’t host and literally all of my savings are going into the airbnb economy as a homeless guest, thank you very much Brian, you did great.
