Relief Fund Criteria - No more than two ACTIVE listings?

[Sanee0]

I believe to meet the all criteria to apply for the Superhost Relief Fund.
Just a small detail:
At present i have only 1 active listing. BUT i have a bunch of deactivated listings. These listings are inactive since 11 months. Back then i was running a homestay villa, invested 24.000 usd but the investment was a bust. At the end i had to close down that place, lost all money and a lot of  time.
Since then i keep those listings deactivated instead of deleting them because i don't want to loose the reviews. When you delete a listing permanently you will lose the reviews for that particular listing.
My current listing has an occupacy rate of 90% and it's my only source of income. Now i'm down to 0% and broke.

Vietnam has been hit really hard by the travel restrictions. We have plenty of guest from China and all inbound flights had been canceled at the very early stage of the outbreak in January 2020!

I'm urgently in demand for some financial relief and seriously concerned of being overlooked in the automated selection if algorithms misinterpreted my inactive listings.

Should i delete those inactive listings permanently?

@Sanee0  I think you may be mistaken about losing all the reviews for a listing if you delete it. Reviews are attached to the host's profile, not the listing. If you sell a place and have no listings at all for awhile, if you then list another place later on, those original reviews for the place you sold will still appear on your profile. It's only if you delete your whole profile that you'd lose the reviews.

I can't imagine that they would be counting inactive listings for this grant assessment.

@Sanee0  Hmm. Well, maybe it's another of those poorly worded Airbnb things that raises more questions than it answers. For instance, that message about losing the reviews may be assuming that you only have one listing to start with. I guess you'd better contact Airbnb CS and ask. And just to be sure, when you get an answer, contact again, from scratch (so you don't get the same CS rep) and ask again, because you can often get totally opposite answers from different CS reps.

I would think you are fine, as far as the grant goes, with just leaving it delisted. But who knows for sure.
