This is a common tactic from a lot of hosts. Airbnb take a cut of the rental fee but don't touch the cleaning fee, so hosts will lower the rental fee and smack on a massive cleaning fee to reduce the amount they lose. I'm surprised Airbnb haven't cracked down on it since it loses them money.

That's like the early days of eBay when people would charge next to nothing for an item and have a high shipping and handling charge to avoid fees. Their solution was to impose fees for both the sale price and the shipping and handling. It sounds like Airbnb should do the same, hopefully instead their bubble bursts and they crash and burn for what they did to the cost of housing.
