Hosting for minimum 7 nights.

1) Some US cities are restricting owners to rent from 7 to 29 nights only. I know of two counties in my State. I am not used to this since i have rented on a nightly basis up to now. I can only list the unit as available 7 nights or more. Whether a guest wants to stay for the entire 7 is optional. If the guest only wants 3 nights I would need to leave the unit empty for the remaining 4 nights. I would charge only 3 nights. How can i rent the unit for less than 7 nights (say 3 is the average) but list the unit for 7 nights or more?

2) Is an Airb representative familiar with these new city restrictions, available to chat by phone?

Did you learn anything about how to do this?

There is no solution for this. A guest looking for 3 nights on Airbnb will never be presented a listing having a min. stay for 7 nights set.

Or maybe use 1 fixed check-in day in a week and set listing to  3 nights minimum.

Then the next reservation will always start at least 7 nights after the previous one started.

Or block remaining nights manually on the calender after each reservation.

No i have no answer. I decided not buy in counties with the 7 nite minimum restriction.
