No response from airbnb re security deposit payment

Hi,

Airbnb have said they will pay me for damages from the guest's security deposit but since then (5th January) I have had silence. I have repeatedly emailed and 48 hours ago I phoned them but still no one has got back to me. I don't understand, they said they would pay and then nothing.

The problem is I manage the property and I told the owner he would be reimbursed so he is contacting me every day asking for his money and it sounds like I am stalling.

 

I recieved this from airbnb on the 5th January:

Sincerely, Airbnb

Hi @Kathryn2,

 

I think you should contact Airbnb again.  I would use the Twitter route but if that is not an option, there are other ways: https://community.airbnb.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/Contact-Airbnb-A-How-To-Guide/m-p/16165#M728
