Host fines guests accusing them of a noise violation, gets owned by his own fine print when they gather evidence of neighbor's partying: 'He finally refunded the deposit and apologized'

When a group of friends booked a small cottage for a quiet weekend away, they didn't expect to become legal scholars of Airbnb fine print. The listing clearly stated: Quiet after 10 PM. No parties. Host will mediate disputes if guests aren't at fault.

On their second night, a nearby house threw a loud party. The host, Mark, assumed it was them. Without checking cameras or calling the neighbors, he accused the group of breaking the rules and threatened to keep their deposit, plus charge a "peace-of-mind fee."

Unfortunately for Mark, his own policies became his undoing.
