Anyone can advice on this? We do not intend to take this risk so we are going to remove our listing in Airbnb

Just an update what I've done last week.. After looots of research I managed to find some phone number to call and got an Airbnb person directly (it's some global support) +18007231238
So I managed to get his approval to cancel the bookings without any fee.

Hi, anyone has experience with URA before to share?

i got a notice from URA and dont know what to do now 

[Akanksha0]

@Nga0 Sorry I cant help much here, but you may want to snooze/delist your apartment. What does the URA notice say?

@Akanksha0

It says there is an infringement, but i am still waiting for what's coming up next.
