@Stephen Jahn I wouldn't punish honesty.

I hope those committing the fraud are getting caught and punished!

After this, I am hoping and praying that Jill Berg and Robert Berg get. the punishment they deserve.

You are a glutton for punishment...I can't wait to hear how much more they cost you to actually get rentable again.Apparently, they didn't like that and filed a complaint with the Department of Health.

Do you mean as punishment because they were a little slow on communication?

Expect to be punished to the fullest extent provided by law.

If you cancel on Airbnb they punish you through their algorithms etc pushing your listing to the bottom etc maybe this host didn’t care or doesn’t realize the platform will penalize him..

@Cristian SamayoaThe penalty for lying on an FHA mortgage is a Federal crime punishable by up to 5 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. 

The former leaves the door wide open to unethical people, and the latter allows punishment of victims of circumstance - neither seems really right.I just want to do the right thing while not exposing myself to unintended liability.

If you have "weasel clauses" to cancel the contract up till day of closing, then the red flag goes up for intent.And for those who think that because you are out of state and never setting foot here that the Commission doesn't or can't punish you, you are wrong.
