Seasonal rentals: rates, stays, calendar and promotions

A seasonal unit is rented by the night to successive guests.

• No monthly rent, charges or rent-based deposit: you set a nightly rate (and optionally a weekly rate), a cleaning fee and a security deposit.
• No one-year lease or guarantor: each guest makes a booking, checked so that it never overlaps another one.
• Tracking is done stay by stay, with a booking calendar.

A project can mix long-term and seasonal units.

When adding a unit, choose the Seasonal rental type; for an existing unit, open it and click Edit settings. Set the nightly rate (required), weekly rate, cleaning fee, security deposit, maximum adults and children, minimum nights, adult discount, check-in and check-out times and house rules (pets, smoking, parties). The residence currency is shown on every amount.

The nightly price is reduced when the unit is booked by fewer adults than the maximum: discount = percentage × missing adults (e.g. 10 %, 4 adults max, 2 adults book: −20 %). The cleaning fee is not discounted, children are not counted, and the total discount is capped at 90 %.

In the unit page, Seasonal section, the Promotions block offers a percentage off (1–90 %) over a period (dates included). Each night in the period is discounted (the highest promotion wins when they overlap). Promotions apply to new bookings; deleting one does not change stays already recorded.

From the unit page, click Add a tenant then Add a stay. The wizard has four steps: ID document, guest, stay and confirmation. The arrival and departure calendars cross out booked nights; departure must be after arrival, respect the minimum stay and not go beyond the next booking. The quote is computed live (nights or weeks, promotion, discount, cleaning fee, total, deposit reminder). Choose the payment method and say whether the guest has paid: not yet, deposit (amount) or in full.

The unit page shows a booking calendar with Year, Month and Week views, sharing the year selector of the performance chart. Each stay is a coloured bar with a payment badge (✓ paid, ½ deposit, ✕ unpaid); promotion days are highlighted. Click a booking to edit it.

The Edit booking window changes the guest, dates, travellers, payment method, amount received and deposit received. The agreed price is kept unless dates or travellers change (it is then recomputed with current rates). Overlapping dates are refused. Delete… removes the booking from the calendar and statistics.

The contracts page and the tenants page offer an All / Long term / Seasonal selector, saved for your account. The guest profile shows the stay and all bookings and leases of the same person (matched by ID number, email or phone).

The rental dashboard has a dedicated seasonal area: received and booked amounts, overdue stays, booked nights, occupancy, average nightly price, profit, a monthly chart, upcoming stays and stays to collect.
