I'm not sure what any of us thinks is very relevant - it's what airbnb decides to do.
Have they made any decision?
In the vast majority of cases, they seem to find in the guests favour, especially if the guest gets in first.
I think you're right - the best thing to have down would have been to evict these guests from the get go, but it's easy to be wise in hindsight.
Do let us know what ends up happening
