If I'm already fine, why do I need to go to court?

It seems like they have a newer and better "jerk the host around" policy every couple of days.You get what you tolerate.VRBO is no better, and will almost certainly copy this in the coming months.VRBO and Airbnb take turns coming up with jerk the host around policies, and then the other one copies it.Remember, VRBO are the ones that invented charging fines to hosts beyond even the max refund amount, which is pretty much the most brutality punitive policy in all of business and something no other business would accept.Imagine if waiters had to pay a $2000 fine for spilling a drink on a diner.
