💡 Please Note!
Airbnb has recently implemented a policy to prevent any attempts to bypass or circumvent their enforcement measures. Their Circumvention Policy prohibits users from creating duplicate accounts or listings to avoid penalties like listing suspensions or account removals. This means users cannot set up new accounts or listings to circumvent actions taken against their original account or listing, such as being suspended or receiving negative reviews.
