[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a property on VRBO and only now did we update our summer rate for next year with our beach house.

The owner just has nit updated their winter rate for next summer.  [b]But OP knew that because the rate was likely too good to be true.[/b]

I would have done the same thing.  Tell OP that this is our summer rate which we just updated and give her the chance to book at correct rate.  If she doesn’t want to, she can cancel the booking.  If she doesn’t cancel within 1-2 weeks, then I would as the owner.

BTW, full payment was likely not made by OP if it’s VRBO. It’s a despot which would be refunded.  And the owner likely won’t see any if the money until after OP has actually checked in.[/quote]

OP again - I did not know that. Why would I know your seasonal rates if you haven't posted them anywhere for me to see. YOU are the offeror of your property for rent. This is basic contract law. Legally this is a bait and switch under most deceptive trade practices acts.

When I was irritated with the whole issue but was fairly resigned to being practical and letting it go, but the people dogpiling on me for something a mistake that wasn't at all my fault makes me want to sue this host just to make a point. God.[/quote]
