Hi @Jeannie147
Agree with @Mike-And-Jane0 . Long term stays are defined by Airbnb as 28+ days. I caution you to become fully familiar with all the aspects of hosting them. Read all the Airbnb help articles on long term stays regarding the risks. Also, a long term stays are not "set and forget". There is more wear and tear on the property. How will you handle cleaning during the stay? What consumables are you prepared to provide and for how long? (toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc.) Not to mention that after 28 days in many states the guest is now a "tenant" and if they refuse to leave, you will have to go thru legal proceedings to evict them. For this reason, many Hosts to do not offer long term stays.
You can promote longer term stays (less than 28days) by offering weekly discounts and noting in your description that discounts are available for longer term stays:

Tenant Rights
In most states, if a guest stay is more than 28 days, they are now legally considered a “tenant” and not a guest. If they refuse to leave after their stay, you will have to go through court proceedings to get them evicted.

Price Calculation Errors
Price errors occur more often with long-term stays. This requires the host to verify each one for accuracy (sometimes weekly or other discounts you have set are incorrectly applied to a long term stay).
