Is there software that can auto-adjust minimum stay requirements?

Depending on season, special events, holidays, school calendars, etc... I manually adjust certain parts of my calendar to different minimum stay lengths (2 nts, 3 nts, 5 nts, 1 week, etc). Is there software that can do this automatically? Or at least notify me? I'm afraid I'm gonna miss a holiday at some point and get screwed out of a big revenue weekend when I should've had a longer minimum stay enforced.

For example, there's some random high-demand "long weekends" that you wouldn't even think about. Like some of the school districts 90 miles away have random parent-teacher conferences on a random Thurs & Fri in October so schools are closed for a 4-day weekend and I need to have a 4-nt min stay when those happen bc demand is high but it's pretty manual to search through all the school calendars. And if someone books only Fri & Sat, then I miss a lot of revenue that I would earn if I enforced 4 nt Wed-Sun bookings on those wknds. I just do it all manually right now...

Not that I know of either. Although it’s basically the same on VRBO as it is Airbnb. @John Underwood check out the “Rule Set” menu on the right side of the Airbnb calendar. 

I'll definately look for that. They way I have been doing it sux.
