I believe on Airbnb payment options are between Airbnb and the Guest. The host is not involved Usually longer term when they are asking payment options they are asking you if you will do private pay..
I have done that but I am very careful sometimes a good repeat Airbnb Guest becomes a problem the minute you go private pay.
I do a lot of contract employees so 3 or 6 months is not unusual.
I usually if I am not sure yet, I let them go monthly on Airbnb 30 days at a time and doing extensions to original request they still get charged tax but not an Airbnb Fee for an extension..
In Arizona, someone gave me the state form the guest can complete showing 30 days paid too Airbnb and usually get a refund from the state, I am not involved.
To avoid any confrontation, I just say Airbnb is required by my STR Insurer and I am not worried about damage but juust trying to protect them if they trip on something in my driveway.
