INDEPENDENT SELF-HELP TOOL · NOT AFFILIATED WITH AIRBNB

CASE INTAKE / SELF-HELP

Build the record before the clock runs out.

HostProof helps short-term-rental hosts organize their own facts, messages, receipts and original evidence into a claim packet they review and file themselves. It does not decide eligibility or promise reimbursement.

Decision ladder

1.0 / INCIDENT

Name what happened.

Damage, missing items, cleaning, party or pet-related loss.

2.0 / CLOCK

Check the timing.

The quiz preserves all four checkout-time paths.

Current Airbnb terms are linked below; verify them again before filing.
3.0 / EVIDENCE

Inventory what exists.

Original photos, estimates, pre-stay condition and messages.

4.0 / CONTACT

Record the guest step.

Say whether you contacted the guest in Airbnb’s app.

Use Airbnb’s current Resolution Center process and verify it before filing.

What this desk does—and what it refuses to claim.

Trust comes from a clean boundary, not from a payout promise.

Organizes a draft

HostProof turns your entries into a guest message, reimbursement-request draft, evidence checklist and filing steps.

Does not file

Nothing is sent to a guest or Airbnb. Email is sent only to HostProof when you submit the assessment; payment data goes to Stripe only when you choose checkout.

Keeps evidence untouched

HostProof asks what evidence you have; it does not upload, generate, enhance, upscale or alter a file.

Does not guarantee an outcome

Airbnb reviews claims under its own current terms. HostProof cannot guarantee approval, reimbursement or legal compliance.

Can you do this without HostProof?

Yes. Airbnb does not charge you to prepare your own request. HostProof sells structure, not access to the claims process.

Do it yourself

Review the current rules, organize your original evidence, itemize the claimed cost, record the guest conversation, and write the request yourself.

Use the $29 builder

Answer guided prompts and get a local draft tying the incident, amount, evidence inventory and filing steps together. You still check every fact and file it yourself.

Before you rely on the packet.

Does HostProof file claims?

No. It prepares a self-help draft from your entries. You control your account, evidence, messages and submission.

Does this guarantee payment?

No. Airbnb alone reviews and decides claims. HostProof cannot guarantee approval, reimbursement or a particular timeline.

Is this legal advice?

No. HostProof is a self-service document-organizing tool, not a law firm. For advice about your circumstances, consult a qualified professional.

Are policy statements current?

This page was checked against Airbnb’s Host Damage Protection Terms last updated February 5, 2026. Those terms currently use 14-day and 30-day steps, but Airbnb can change them; verify the official terms before filing.
