1. The renter lied to her. (What she lied about doesn't matter, the fact she did does.)
2. Airbnb did not verify their identity AND made no effort to draw any attention whatsoever to this fact.
3. Combine 1. and 2. and it is quite likely that the renter also lied about her identity, which would make getting redress for the damage done tricky.
Also, how many of those hotels asked you what you did for work?
While she omitted the fact that she did sex work, she might not actually be lying about the real estate work. It's probable that's she has at least done that a couple of times, maybe infrequently, but often enough that she can say thats what she does for work to people who she doesnt know if she can trust with the truth.
No, but it is their responsibility to help the "landlords" to the best of their ability, which includes making it very clear when a renter is not verified.
> none of those hotels asked for that id in advance
4 of them required my credit card in advance.
> how many of those hotels asked you what you did for work?
None, because it would be silly to use that as proxy id verification when they're already asking for my id card.
Besides, as i already said, it doesn't matter what she works, it's that she lied about it and the landlord is suddenly there with a person who not only wrecked her place, but who's also a big question mark.
