But then what's to stop one bad owner from just making 15 different accounts for their 15 different properties?
And from the users perspective, there's reasons to prefer that all the properties under the same owner are tied to the same account. If bad reviews are happening it's easier to see the pattern if all the properties on the account have bad reviews.
Not that I don't generally agree with you, I just think that it's a complicated enough issue that just limiting the number of listings per person won't totally solve.
Require a govt ID (and run that ID through a db to make sure it's legit) for each host. Cross reference with who is the legal owner's name on all properties; if company, base on the owner of company (avoids 'I'll just make 5 companies' workaround). Even more basic stuff like 'if more than 1 account is using the same bank account, flag for review'. This stuff isn't hard, it's just not in use currently.
