So, AirBnB have let RNT put a link on their website that points to the AirBnB website. No mention of any form of reciprocity. That sounds like a great deal for AirBnB and nothing but a PR stunt for RNT.

Is a prospective renter going to move all their stuff in to an expensive AirBnB place for 1,2,3 weeks before signing a lease and moving in to a longer term rental? No. Nobody does that. This is not practical in the real world.

I watch from the sidelines with interest, but to me this just comes across as super gimmicky
