AirBNB is knowingly violating their own terms and allowing hosts to intentionally do so too. Bait-and-switch is fraud and a criminal offense. AirBNB refuses to allow guests to set there own cancellation policies, allow hosts to agree to them manually/automatically, and enforce them on behalf of the guests like they do for host. AirBNB deletes blocks & deletes reviews.

Yes, AirBNB is possible to blame. US state attorney general should investigate them.

So what you're thinking is if the US AG gets involved with AirBNB all these issues will magically disappear? It sounds like what might be needed is different housing policies. Our area bans short term rentals period (AirBNB, Vrbo or even private) and the issues have decreased significantly. It's also freed up more housing in our area alleviating the housing crisis (a little).
