special offer monthly price

[Kathleen817]

Hi, I have an enquiry for a 3 months stay. I have sent a special offer to my potential guest. I was going to offer monthly payment rather than the full amount which is quite high but it didn't give me an option to do so. When I searched the topic on Airbnb help it said for stays longer than 28 days I would be given an option to specify monthly payments. however, that didn't come up as an option. Did anyone have a similar issue?

@Kathleen817  Hosts don't get to choose how and when an Airbnb guest pays. Long term bookings fall under the long term booking policies, which you should read.

Long  term bookings pay the first 30 days upfront, then they are charged monthly. 

But unless you are required to take only 30 day+ bookings in your area, it isn't advisable to take long term bookings through Airbnb- there  are none of the safeguards a landlord would normally have when having tenants, and in most jurisdictions, a guest becomes a tenant after 30 days, subject to landlord/ tenant laws.

What if the "guest" who booked 3 months turns out to be objectionable? How would you plan to get rid of them?
