[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that maybe legally OP is out the $.  However, it’s just wrong for the owner to not refund the money given the condo is uninhabitable.  It’s unethical and bad karma.  [/quote]

No, it isn’t.  People get what they pay for in this context.  People generally turn to VRBO or AirBNB when they don’t want to pay higher rates to rent a house through a rental company or pay for a hotel room/suite.  But as the NYT article posted a page or two back shows, those bargains come with drawbacks.  People who paid for hotels or rented through established rental agencies are generally getting refunds or credits for a future stay, because that’s one of the benefits you get when you pay more for these services/facilities.  If you go the discount route *and* you go even cheaper by not buying trip insurance, you are getting the bargain you chose if you aren’t entitled to a refund, and there is nothing unethical about holding someone to their agreements.

Not necessarily - again if you don’t purchase the hurricane insurance with the established rental agency you are out of luck![/quote]
