Hi,
Do any one know how long gust will wait to have his/hers deposit back?
The guest is not charged for the security deposit. Instead, a "hold" is placed on the credit card at the time of booking. A host may make a claim within 48 hours of check out if there are damages or extra charges (for example, a guest leaves their camera and wants you to mail it to him). If no claim is made within the 48 hours, the hold is removed. Read more here: www.airbnb.com/help/article/140/how-does-airbnb-handle-security-deposits
Thank you Clare
