We were falsely and improperly billed by the host. We received a bill for an additional $145.77 through airbnb after our stay was over. The host's argument was that the thermosensor in our room would not turn on because of a scratch on the sensor part, which we scratched with our key. So, he asked for reimbursement costs. In fact, we never scratched the thermosensor with the key, and we told this to the host, but he did not listen to us at all and unilaterally imposed his opinion on us. It was horrifying when he threatened us on the message that he also had photographic evidence and fingerprints. However, all of the photographic evidence submitted was taken after our stay, there is no comparison to before our stay, and it does not prove that we caused the damage. Eventually, the bill was more than the price of the thermosensor itself. We believe he tried to cheat us international students out of our money by filing fraudulent claims against us. Our regret is that we met the host by a chance and had a small talk. If we were Canadians, if we were men, would the same thing have happened?
This host ruined our vacation in Toronto.
P.S. Don’t scrunch anything in the room!
