Thanks for all your advice, I'm learning a lot.
I would say though, the more I think about it, I may be comfortable calling my property "ready and available" from its initial listing on AirBnB because there was no CapEx work or major improvements that prevented anyone from renting it, it was cosmetic and decorative stuff...I chose to cancel the booking because I was embarassed about the condition and my AirBnB rating, but like, it was safe and habitable, it just wasn't fully painted and furnished the way I wanted it...some rooms missing wallpaper or with temporary beds, etc. So much gray area here...I guess I just need to be able to support whatever I do should I get audited. I don't know how they can expect anyone to truly make sense of their convoluted rules and exceptions and such...
