Now, I've never used AirBnB (spending the night in a random person's house just seems creepy to me), but what is the AirBnB owner going to do if, on your last day, you just say "Nah, I'm not vacuuming your house for you, or doing your laundry. Thanks for the room! Bye!"
I've stayed in maybe a dozen AirBNBs over the last couple of years. In my experience, only one was actually somebody's house. The others were just investment/rental properties.
You signed a legal contract, which most likely is going to get enforced through AirBnB, which will financially penalize your account and block you from their service?

It'll be a cleaning fee and a strike on your account. You're not legally allowed to put punishments in contracts
Conditional penalty? If said thing doesn't happen, you pay this or that.
I don't do AirBNB. Do they not have some kind of deposit or credit card guarantee?
Because owners can rate guests, and thus a bad rating can limit your choices of properties in the future.
Similar to what Uber do with passengers.
