I had the same similar situation with Airbnb at 2016, the host sent a council letter photo, it says "the house has to be evacuated etc." which is fake. He intentionally waited the last day to notify me while I rented the place one month.

I was about to move another country and this happened at the last day. It was a devastating moment, I didn't accept scammer alternative place which is 5 times worse than listing. I rented a different place and did a report to Airbnb.

Airbnb contacted with me almost instantly after the report and they were used to this situation for sure. They gave me 200$ coupon as an apologise as I remember and I closed the case.
