Yeah I am starting to think these reasons are bullshit.

I've had an airbnb cancel on me due to plumbing issues a couple years back and the exact same thing just happened to my inlaws.

A lot of people don’t question plumbing issues. Especially if they already have a prepared solution. It just seems these plumbing issues always happen right around big events nearby for Airbnb’s. I’d be curious to see if the listing appeared bookable at that time after they moved you.

And they could fix that by not allowing a new booking on any cancelled date - I mean, if there's a plumbing problem, there's a plumbing problem, right?

But curiously they don't fix it.

Someone else offered more money on a different platform.
