"Could have been a previous "guest". "

Occam's razor makes the likelihood very improbable.

There are plenty of stories about AirBnb properties being used for big parties and illicit activities so an owner may have wanted to add some coverage to monitor what guests were up to. In a hotel a big party would get quashed, but a rented home won't have a security officer or a front desk getting complaints from other guests. It's much easier to rent through AirBnB when you're under 18/21 too from what I've heard. Invite a few friends to split the bill and spend the weekend with a small party hoisting a few and filling the air with the smell of burning cow pats where the parents can't see and not "staying the night at Jimmy's playing xBox" as you said.
