Mid Term Bookings

[Esther Rosenberg]

Hi,

My question is for those who do mid and short term rentals. One regarding payment and the other regarding blocking off dates.

My property is generally rented out on a short term basis through Air BNB. I have a request for a 6 month stay. I am wondering how payment is usually done for a long stay like this? It's not all paid upfront generally, correct?

And if it's not paid upfront, do you block off all the months on your short term calendars?

Thank you!
