Websites response was this: The landlord has explained that one of the current tenants left a jar of jam open, which attracted insects. We have included a screenshot of the conversation where the landlord informed you of this. Now that the jar has been disposed of, the issue has been resolved.
Based on this feedback, we regret to inform you that your complaint does not meet the criteria for a refund under our Refund Policy. Specifically, the policy states:
“(iii) The User took all the appropriate steps to resolve the issue with the Accommodation Provider.”
It seems the website's response is focused on the "necessary steps" clause. You can strengthen your defense by emphasizing your efforts and responsibilities.

- Emphasize that resolving another tenant's actions is not your responsibility.
- Request a review of the policy interpretation.
