Whether or not this is the same person or an imposter? Who knows. But it wouldn't be surprising.

If true, it's entirely possible that Airbnb is more concerned about setting a precedent for any and all auxiliary damages that go along with a bad stay. What happens when someone gets kicked out of their apartment because a guest accidentally tipped off management that they were an Airbnb renter?
