This is somewhat similar to a fast for restaurant; if Mcdonalds didn't enforce minimum standards of cleanliness and operations, a few badly run franchises would end up lowering sales volume across the chain.The issue seems to be when STR operators feel that AirBnB has unjustly taken the side of the renter when the operator has perceived that he has done everything correctly and the renter is just taking advantage of a situation, such as he really wants to cancel a reservation past the cancellation period and so uses an excuse to get a refund.

@Willie Cedillo it sounds like the perceived guilt of holding onto the deposit is what's getting to you here and not the indecision of if the tenants were negligent. 

Right now you may only perceive the known unknowns....
