Just a question to all Airbnb owners, If you advertise your property at say £60 per night, you received a request to book it, YOU THEN discover that there is an event in the area that is likely to attract a large number of people, you refuse the request, take your listing off and relist it a week later at a higher price.
Is it legal or ethical, or would you honour the original request ?
Thoughts please |

Arsehole behaviour. If they didn’t check what’s going on in their area before setting rates that’s on them. It’s not illegal but it’s definitely shit practice. Worry that happened to you OP, hopefully you find somewhere better |

Like anything, it's contract law. If the contract permits it then they can do it, if not, then you can but there could be ramifications.
It's standard business practice I'm afraid but I know some AirBNB owners that are great and probably wouldn't but I know some that definitely would. |

I had this when booking accommodation for the Edinburgh Fringe a few years ago. I paid £800 for a week in a nice Airbnb and they messaged me a week later to refund the money, as they were putting the price up. I've not been back up there since. |
